We had a chat with Martin Lövgren and Johan Ilves from Stunlock Studios who showed off their new game Battlerite, a "team arena brawler" where teams of two face off in a battle where random elements have been outlawed.

"It's the next generation of an esports arena MOBA experience," says Lövgren. "We don't want to call it a MOBA, we want to call it a team arena brawler, but it has a MOBA type topdown view, with a shooter style with the controls."

"We don't want any random elements and we want it very quick pace, so you have a lot of dodging. Everything is skill-based, you have to aim your heals, aim your melee attacks. Everything can be dodged. No offensive abilities can't be avoided."

Battlerite which Stunlock considers a spiritual successor to their first game, Bloodline Champions, is planned for release later this year.
