Fortnite has become a classic battle royale at this point, there is no doubt. The game, known for its dynamic skins and regular updates is reportedly introducing a rope-swinging mechanic that will offer players a novel way to navigate the game’s expansive map. This addition is a clear indication of Fortnite trying to keeping the gameplay experience vibrant and engaging.

Developers will strategically place swinging points all over the map

For years, Fortnite has been at the forefront of integrating unique movement features, such as sprinting, sliding, and mantling, to maintain its edge in the competitive gaming landscape. These features have been instrumental in keeping the game on par with rivals like Apex Legends and Call of Duty, renowned for their high-octane movement mechanics. The proposed rope-swinging feature is set to be the latest in this series of updates, potentially transforming how players interact with the game’s environment.

According to recent leaks, players will soon be able to swing across the map using ropes and chandeliers strategically placed by the developers. This controlled distribution of swinging points suggests a thoughtful approach to integrating the new feature, ensuring it complements rather than overshadows the core gameplay. Additionally, the introduction of rope rappelling will add another dimension to the game, allowing players to ascend or descend ropes, thereby creating diverse strategic possibilities.

While fans may recall the excitement around Fortnite’s Spider-Man Web Shooters, the new rope mechanics are expected to offer a more nuanced enhancement to the game. These changes could lead to fascinating new tactics, especially if players are allowed to shoot or build while in motion.

2023 was a landmark year for Fortnite, and the momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down. With anticipated updates like the new rope mechanics and potential expansions in modes like LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing, the game continues to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. As we look ahead to 2024, one thing seems certain: Fortnite’s journey of innovation and excitement is far from over.

Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI has been a great success in India. The title launched back in June 2021 for Android and the company had stated that it was working on an iOS port as well. And now, the popular battle royal game is finally available in the Apple App Store.

For those unaware, BGMI only launched in India for Android smartphones. While the company did state that a version for Apple iOS was in the works, it had offered no set date for its launch. Recently, we had even reported on certain teasers, but it was speculated that the iOS port was a while away. But it seems Krafton Inc wasted no time in bringing the popular mobile game to iPhones, which is also one of the most preferred platforms for the title.

For those unaware, many professional esports athletes and players across the globe played PUBG Mobile on iOS devices. So, BGMI’s launch on the App Store was highly anticipated in India. It is currently available on the iOS platform for iPhones that run iOS 11.0 or later. The game has a total size of about 1.9GB and, similar to the Android version, will also offer players the option to download resource packs and other updates following the installation.

Although, Krafton did state that iOS users might not be able to login immediately due to ongoing maintenance but this is scheduled to end by 9:40pm IST later today (18th August 2021). Recently, BGMI achieved a notable feat with the game registering over 50 million downloads on Google Play Store alone. So the studio offered all players with a permanent Galaxy Messenger set in game.

According to a new report, the massively popular Tencent Gaming titles PUBG Mobile and Peace Elite have earned a global revenue crossing $1.5 billion. It makes the titles one of the most successful mobile games across the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android) platforms.

PUBG Mobile and Peace Elite are free to play games that are based on the popular battle royale genre, that sees 100 people dropping into a map and fight it out to be the last man standing. The report suggests that the total global revenue of PUBG Mobile and Peace Elite has crossed $1.3 billion in just 2019. This makes the year see 88 percent of the total revenue generation since its initial launch back in 2018.

Notably, Peace Elite (Chinese version) was launched in May 2019 which is almost a year after PUBG Mobile (global version). However, data statistics show that the Chinese players’ consumption in this series is ahead of the global market. Currently, the revenue from China’s App Store is $614 million alone, which accounts for 40 percent of the total revenue so far. The US players arrive second with a contribution of $293 million and a 20 percent share. Similarly, the third spot goes to Japan which generated $117 million that is 8 percent of the total revenue.

Among the overseas market, games like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile are ranked in the top three in terms of popularity. Furthermore, Tencent’s PUBG generated nearly $70 million in November 2019 which is a month-on-month increase of 30.1 percent. As for the title of the top-grossing game, Candy Crush Saga with $88.4 million is at the top followed by PUBG Mobile as a close second.

Battle Royale games have taken smartphones by storm in the past one year. Games like PUBG, Fornite have garnered tremendous popularity among smartphone users and it was only a matter of time when other tech giants decided to get their hands dirty in this flourishing market. This time, we are getting a new battle royale game from Xiaomi and its called the Survival Game. The company made the announcement recently via its forums and even started taking applications for its closed beta.

The idea is very similar to popular games like PUBG (New Halloween themed Update). The Survival Game starts off with a lot of players competing against each other. The last player standing is the winner. The game has a lot of sci-fi elements to please the nerd in you and features like the ability to fly for each character is bound to make the game interesting. Xiaomi explained the game as follows:

Each match starts with players flying from the spaceship onto a map area. Players could decide when and where to land on the battlefield. All resources are searched and retrieved from the map, and players can fight with their competitors at any time. The last one standing will be the winner!

Xiaomi’s new battle royale game is said to be optimized on multiple levels. This likely means that the game is being tested on different smartphones in the market today to ensure smooth gameplay. However, the company is yet to reveal support for a specific set of devices. Since we are just entering the closed beta stage, expect at least a few weeks until you hear more about a near commercial release.

The forum post comes with a few preview screenshot of the game. It’s hard to say whether Survival Game could compete with the likes of PUBG or even Fortnite, but coming from a brand like Xiaomi, we do expect some interesting gameplay features and options. Xiaomi was accepting applications for its closed beta test but that period seems to be over. The provided google form has stopped accepting responses which likely means that they have reached a sufficient number of applications well before its deadline.
