What is Battle Royale in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
"Battle Royale" ("Battle of Kings" /"Battle Royale") is a genre of video games that has gained immense popularity in the industry. It got its name and concept from the film of the same name Battle Royale (2000) directed by Kinji Fukusaku.
In this genre, players encounter large numbers in one closed place, and they have to compete with each other to the last (the last survivor is the winner). Battle Royale has characteristic features:

Battle for survival

Players are in a large location where they need to search for weapons, equipment and resources (confuse) to defend themselves and kill other players. The goal of players is to survive and remove other participants from the game.

Reducing the location of the game

Over time, the location size artificially decreases, causing players to meet and fight in a confined space. This speeds up the pace of the game and forces players to find and adapt to new situations. According to the plot, it can be a storm, or a magical force that will kill everyone who goes beyond the safe zone.

Randomness (Random)

Weapons, items, and locations are usually placed randomly on the map, making each game unique and unpredictable.

One wins

Most Battle Royale games allow only one player or team of players to win, and all other players lose.

Examples of BattleRoyal video games

The popularity of Battle Royale games such as "Fortnite", "PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS", and "Apex Legends" is due to their exciting gameplay, competitive aspect, and rich variety of player interactions. If we talk about BatlleRoyal, these are the best examples of video games of this genre
