    Just curious if there's others too around here who got this pre-alpha invite. I've just randomly got on their mailing list a long time ago and mostly forgot about them. Today this popped up in my inbox.

    Won't be able to show gameplay as it's under NDA but should be interesting to compare opinions. I'll install tonight.

    Well, I'm not sure what I ca n say. There's a detailed NDA on s tartup of the game and it specifically states that I cann ot even share gameplay experience in writing or sh ow screenshots or vi deos. Maybe at a later stage...

    Is this yet another battle royale?

    Yes, but I haven't been following it and I don't know if the name changed or plans changed as this pre-alpha looks/feels nothing like what was shown/talked about before.

    " yet another battle royale" (with yet another gimmick) - is the most accurate description for now.

    I just found out that this thing is dead... gone bankrupt a while ago. To be honest I'm not surprised considering how bad the alpha test was. Extremely clunky gameplay, nothing like what was described.

    Still waiting for a good PUBG successor...

    Oh and don't get me started on CoD Warzone. If Fortnite is for 11 year olds then Warzone is for 15s :p The gameplay is just chaotic and way too fast...
