If you haven’t heard of Islands of Nyne you are probably thinking “damn, not another bloody battle royale” but wait, this battle royale has been around for a little while in closed Alpha and it is pretty damn good.
It is a super fast paced almost Crysis like battle royale. The concept is the same as all of the others however it is designed to push players together and fight as soon as possible. The circles are faster and they speed up as less and less players are alive.
From Islands of Nyne:
At E3’s Xbox conference and Unreal’s Underdog nomination, Define Human Studios officially revealed the Steam Early Access launch date and full gameplay trailer of their long-awaited competitive Battle Royale title, Islands of Nyne. The game 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.)
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.
Game Features will include:
- Multiple game modes
- 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

Alongside our commitment to ensuring a successful launch, we’ve been making plenty of progress in other areas of development such as character customization and progression, the pre-queue warm-up area, performance, sound design, matchmaking, QoL improvements… the list goes on!
Catch a glimpse below of our new inspect animation showing off one of the exclusive Kickstarter backer skins accompanied by scenes of the new pre-queue area.
