Ring of Elysium is the most exciting battle royale launching this fall

Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds better look out. Tencent Games has made its own battle royale game called Ring of Elysium. It is coming to Steam on September 19 for free. The subsidiary of China’s largest internet conglomerate, Tencent, launched an early version of the last-player-standing shooter in Asia earlier this year. Now, it is launching worldwide.

You may know that Tencent already has a hand in the battle royale genre. It owns 48 percent of Fortnite developer Epic Games. It has a partnership with The PUBG Corporation to distribute PUBG in China. Tencent even developed PUBG Mobile. Therefore, you may wonder why Tencent would make its own battle royale. Because it likes money. And because it is good at it.
