Apparently, Off the Grid is a:

Battle Royale like no other, in OTG, 150 players fight each other in PvP (Player Vs Player) skirmishes, as well as PvE (Player Vs Environment) storyline missions using the same map inhabited by other players in real-time.

Players have the freedom to control how the hard-boiled story unfolds, with each decision made directly impacting everyone’s gameplay. Core to the experience and deep narrative structure is the unique way in which players can craft, customise, and trade their in-game items with each other.

In OTG, the lines between hero and villain become blurred as players fight to survive the covert corporate battles of the future.

Blomkamp adds:

With OTG, our ambition is not only to create the Battle Royale 2.0 by adding deep player progression but to build an evolving world designed to take on a life of its own, changing in unexpected ways each time a player re-joins the game.

With an innovative approach to the Battle Royale core session flow and a deep narrative experience, we add purpose to each element of the game, allowing players to revisit the OTG world repeatedly where there is always something new to find and explore, and for us to expand upon.

Off the Grid will release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2023. Are you excited by the prospect of a battle royale being led by Neill Blomkamp? Let us know across our social media channels.
