Fall Guys – Trailer gets you in the mood for the F2P launch
Fall Guys is basically a battle royale, but does a lot of things differently than other representatives of the genre. In the style of game shows like Takeshi’s Castle, up to 60 players compete in a series of mini-games, with a few getting eliminated in each round. The mini-games are quite varied and range from creative obstacle courses to team games such as the soccer variant fall-ball or egg-squabble, in which we have to collect eggs and steal them from the other teams. Fall Guys owes its success not only to the playful variety and the crazy concepts, but also to the charming, colorful look and the cute, potato-shaped and rather awkward-looking characters.

Pokémon Unite: Cinematic trailer puts the pocket monsters in the limelight
Pokémon Unite follows the classic MOBA formula: we first choose one of dozens of Pokémon that fulfill different roles such as attacker, defender or support, and then fight for control of the battlefield in two teams of 5 players. Last but not least, it’s about leveling up our Pokémon as quickly as possible in order to gain the decisive advantage. One of the things that sets Pokémon Unite apart from other MOBA titles is its accessibility, while still offering enough complexity to keep it engaging. Above all, the variety of Pokémon and their special attacks ensures that there is always something new to try out.

Fortnite – Season 3 trailer gets you in the mood
There are a number of reasons why Fortnite has managed to become even more successful than the already insanely successful Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds and knocked it off the throne of battle royale shooters. These include, for example, the sophisticated technology, the pretty, colorful comic look and, of course, the opportunity to collect resources and let off steam creatively when constructing buildings and defense systems. The principle of the game remains the same: in the online shooter we are abandoned on an island alone or in a team and fight until there is only one winner left. The area in which we can stay without taking damage becomes smaller and smaller over time.

Rocket League shows the new Formula 1 racing cars in the trailer
The autoball game Rocket League was a real surprise hit when it was released and quickly gained millions of fans, even though it wasn’t free to play at the time. In the years since, it has always retained a large and loyal community. This is because the football-oriented gameplay is easy to understand but difficult to master. If you’re really good, you can use the boost function to let your car fly across the entire field, hitting the ball with perfect timing and sending it past the opponents into the goal. It takes a lot of time and practice to master such tricks. Fortunately, thanks to the good matchmaking, you usually have to deal with opponents of about the same strength.

Super Kirby Clash – Launch Trailer for the Free Game
Super Kirby Clash is gameplay based on Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for Nintendo 3DS, but uses the much more elaborate graphical framework from Kirby Star Allies for Nintendo Switch. Also, it adds additional bosses and items. This does not change the gameplay: Four Kirbys fight together in co-op against huge and demanding bosses, many of whom are already known from earlier parts of the Kirby series. In doing so, they gain experience points and become stronger, which is also necessary, because the opponents quickly become quite tough. If you don’t have any human players, the AI simply takes over the other Kirbys.

Apex Legends – Video Guide: These expert tips can also implement beginners
Apex Legends is one of the few battle royale shooters that has managed to thrive over the long term despite Fortnite’s dominance. Set in the same futuristic universe as Titanfall, the game is played exclusively in teams and is characterized, among other things, by the fact that before each round we can choose one of around twenty characters with different special abilities. This gives the matches additional tactical depth, as you would expect from MOBAs or hero shooters over watch knows. Especially the ultimate ability, which is only available a few times each turn, should be used wisely.

Tetris 99 – The Free Battle Royale Puzzler in the Announcement Trailer
Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99 are battle royale versions of the famous classics. In both games, 99 players fight for victory in online matches. Of course, we don’t just play in front of ourselves, but can attack our opponents by sending them our depleted ranks in Tetris and surprisingly get them into dicey situations. In Pac-Man 99, for swallowing ghosts, we send them a disruptive Pac-Man that slows them down. Otherwise, both games remain essentially true to the gameplay of the originals. Both Tetris 99 and Pac-Man 99 are exclusive to Nintendo Switch and exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online.
