No Mel Gibson, sadly
Fractured Landsis a brand new, post-apocalyptic, battle royale game coming from developer Unbroken Studios (comprised of staff that previously worked on theCall of Duty,Medal of HonorandBattlefieldseries). The game will task players with gunning down their opposition and driving off into the sunset before getting murdered themselves. Your car, “is your lifeline, your greatest weapon, strongest armor,” reads theSteam store listingand it seems the game will have a heavy focus on vehicular combat.
The game will be launching in Early-Access at some point in July 2018, but you may currently sign-up to take part in the closed beta at theofficial website. The beta will run on the weekends of June 8, 22 and 29, though there isn’t an indicator of how many codes will be available. In fact, there isn’t much known about the game other than it bears a strong resemblance toBorderlandsandMad Max.
That being said, I’m pretty interested. A lot of other battle royale games (such asRing of ElysiumandLast Man Standing) tend to just apeBattlegroundsinstead of creating their own defined aesthetic.Fractured Lands, though, looks totally different from the current crop of games. Then again, the Early-Access part kind of has me worried, since this sub-genre tends to be buggy, unpolished and riddled with connectivity issues.
