Arkheron, developed by former Blizzard CCO Rob Pardo's studio, has unveiled a new trailer, showing off the game's combat and gameplay loop, which immediately had me hooked. Combining elements of various genres like battle royale, looter-shooters, ARPGs, and MOBAs, Arkheron is shaping up to be a mighty fine game.
Battle royale has long been defined by guns, a massive map, and an “every man for himself” type of gameplay. Ever since the eponymous book and movie came out near the end of the previous century, this core identity has been cemented and only ever slightly changed by the likes of PUBG, Fortnite, Hunt: Showdown, and the like.
