Players will have the opportunity to show if they have the edge, the grit, the very will- to engage with Azeroth, its denizens, and their fellow players… to survive.īut there are rules of engagement, as there always are. At least Octopath Traveler lived up to the hype.It’s official, Hardcore realms are coming to World of Warcraft. The Quiet Man was one of the surprises of E3, but the final game was abysmal, while Just Cause 4 proved to be more of the same. Some of the publisher's releases towards the end of the year didn't quite live up to scratch, either. Fans of the publisher felt deflated when all was said and done, wondering whether some of the biggest projects Square Enix had in the works were in trouble. Games like Just Cause 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3 had bizarre reveals before Square Enix's presentation had even taken place, while those missing E3 2018 games were very obvious in their absence. Quite simply, Square Enix's conference was a waste of time for everyone involved, with really nothing new to say whatsoever. Unfortunately, Square Enix's conference was perhaps the most disappointing of E3 2018. After all, the publisher has a number of giant games in the pipeline, including the likes of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It left the publisher as something to mock for many, both over its vicious reaction to a competitor and over the idea that PUBG could lay claim to the genre as a whole.Īlthough the matter was resolved, it was yet another example of erratic behavior from the PUBG camp, as seen by its reaction to Battlefield V's battle royale mode. Unfortunately, this short and sweet Epic Games suit leaves PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as a game with a history among the strangest and most controversial video game lawsuits.Į3 2018 was full of fantastic game reveals, and as such some may have expected Square Enix to be one of the most exciting parts of the expo. Bluehole decided that the best course of action was to sue Epic Games over Fortnite, before promptly dropping the suit.

The response to the success of Fortnite, however, has left many scratching their heads.

However, in spite of its large player base, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has since been knocked out of the park by Fortnite. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in no way invented the battle royale genre, but it was the first to really resonate with players, hitting some major sales milestones along the way. In some ways, the frustrations of PUBG Corporation and Bluehole are easy to understand.
