Greek Battles In Demigod Free-To-Play Battle Royale ‘Zeus’ Battlegrounds’

by Dylan Blight

Zeus’ Battlegrounds, a free-to-play battle royale, is described as a “melee action” game — which makes the amount of spear-throwing and arrows in the announcement trailer a bit funny — but there’s still plenty of up-close combat in a Greek setting.

As the battle royale genre keeps evolving with different spins, Industry Games has arrived with something for Greek mythology fans.

As a 100-player battle royale, the setting offers something you won’t get from other titles right now. It’s hard to tell how much skill is involved in the melee from the short trailer, but hopefully there’s some blocking and parrying in the mix.

Warren Weems, CEO of Industry Games, on the announcement:

“With the massive audience of gamers that are fans of mythology and fantasy, we know there’s interest in bringing the Battle Royale genre into a new realm — Zeus’ Battlegrounds lets you gear up and fight like a Demigod!”

Zeus’ Battlegrounds is coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac with a beta “soon.”
