Fractured Lands is the latest entry into the battle royale genre and it aims to separate itself from the pack by focusing on vehicle-based combat. The battle royale video game craze is currently split between the gritty, slow-paced combat of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and the colorful and intense Fortnite: Battle Royale. While both these games play differently, they both share the similarity of focusing on human-based combat. Fractured Lands, on the other hand, puts players in Mad Max-esque vehicles and tasks them with combating one another.
Created by former Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Battlefield developers, this new title thrusts players into a 100-person battle for survival. The game also incorporates elements of first-person shooting, something all the developers are all incredibly well-versed in thanks to prior experience.
