It seems like standard knowledge now, but rewind even a few years, and this style of Hunger Games-esque combat would be reserved for only Minecraft servers and dreadful early access projects, doomed to never reach completion. One-hundred players parachute onto a vast landscape, collect items, and fight to remain the last alive – earning themselves a ‘chicken dinner’ in the process.
