Battle Royale genre is the talk of the town nowadays. The most recent to hop on the bandwagon is a 400-player game, Mavericks. This upcoming Battle Royale game is one of the most anticipated games, releasing in 2018.

The game is touted to be even bigger than current market dominants Player Unknown’s Battle Grounds (PUBG) and Fortnite.

Recently, some visuals about the game were released, showing the outlook for Mavericks. However, the gameplay of the game is still unknown.

Surprisingly enough, the game will start off as a Battle Royale, but it is expected to transform into a 1000-player MMORPG near the end of next year.

Automaton Games is behind the development of the game previously speculated as Project-X. According to the announcement, the game will boast a 12km environment with real-world events as well.

“This year, we’re coming out with our competitive, Battle Royale-style mode, which we hope will show that there is so much more for that genre than what people have seen today.”

The game is set to launch anytime soon with more to build up through next year. In any case, the 400-player battle royale game is the one not to miss out on.
