'Islands of Nyne: Battle Royale' Gets Steam Early Access Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 21, 2018 @ 7:37 a.m. PDT

Islands of Nyne: Battle Royale provides a first person only, last man standing experience set within a sci-fi universe where players are brought to a giant biodome on a meteor in space to compete in an arena for the entertainment of the masses of alien civilizations.

This Unreal Engine 4 based, highly competitive fast paced shooter provides a much haloed sci-fi experience to the genre, and is developing some unique features for the battle royale genre; a complex melee system, weapons systems from throughout time and space, teleportation, antigravity mechanics and other SciFi elements mixed in, custom game modes, solos duos and team based modes, historical specific weapons game modes, etc., as well as persistent stat tracking, viewer betting systems, and ingame loot and reward systems.

Islands of Nyne: Battle Royale will ship on Steam Early Access on July 12th and feature a laundry list of new additions and tweaks not yet seen in the current Closed Alpha - a testing phase which some 30,000+ players have participated in since April 2017. Islands of Nyne has been in development for almost 3 years and offers a first-person-only, RNG-conscious spin on the popular Battle Royale genre all built around a unique sci-fi universe where anything is possible.

Within its science fiction setting, the team is able to create fantastical environments that spark the imagination. The current map illustrates the fact that contestants were taken from multiple periods in the timeline of human history, which spans an insignificant portion of time when compared to the history of The Nyne. Players will see structures from rudimentary huts to the spectacular architectures of Rome, all encompassed under the dome of an alien arena called Terra Fictus.


Key Features:

  • Multiple gamemodes
  • Character customizations
  • A full ELO ranking system
  • Learnable recoil patterns
  • Adaptive match pacing featuring dynamic staging
  • Custom servers
  • In-game currency for purchasing skins and crates
  • Leaderboards with comprehensive match statistics
  • Further development additions are all included with the original game purchase

Define Human Studios LLC began the development of Islands of Nyne in late 2015 with a vision of a better Battle Royale.  Over the years, the small indie development studio has built an exciting new entry for this genre that brings massive appeal to fans of fast-paced first-person competitive shooters. Focusing largely on balanced mechanics, sustained engagements, skill-based gameplay, and dependable server performance, Islands of Nyne promises to hit the ground running with its early Q3 launch.
