Whether you main a specific Apex Legends character, have a favorite Warzone loadout, or just casually drop into Fortnite with some friends, we’ll have something here for you. If you suck at battle royales, don’t worry, some of us do, too. There’s no judgement here. Coming later this week we’ll have a story about fashion, a creative love letter to certain players, and even someone lamenting the loss of the original Call of Duty battle royale, Blackout—among other things.

Everything you see here was written specifically for this week—we’re not re-upping old stories, but delivering brand new content that reflects the current state of the battle royale. It’s the biggest genre in games, so there’s a lot to cover.

We’ll make sure to regularly update this page so that you can read all the piping hot takes, so bookmark this to make your life a little easier. It’s Kotaku Royale, your one-stop-shop for all things loot, Legends, and more.
