The battle royale sequel was proven for the primary time throughout right this moment’s Name Of Obligation Subsequent occasion, the place we additionally acquired a glimpse of its new setting, Al Mazrah, and the primary information on the way it’s messing with system of leaping from a airplane and chasing circles.

It sounds a bit like Escape From Tarkov, or The Division’s Darkish Zone, however there might be extra details about it in future.
