Super Smash Bros owns the platform fighter scene, so this indie has a new angle: 40-player "Smash battle royale," an idea so wild "we might not actually ship it"

Byte Breakers.

Odyssey Interactive, the studio behind the cult disc hockey game Omega Strikers, has announced a new project called Byte Breakers, which is described as a battle royale take on Super Smash Bros.

Late last year, Odyssey said it was pivoting away from Omega Strikers to begin work on "new games" set in the same universe, and now it's revealed the first prototype of several that are in consideration. Byte Breakers is a battle royale game with 40-player lobbies in which two-player teams drop into a city with an encroaching "glitch zone" and battle it out to be the last team standing.
