![]() While we do not know exactly how many people play across all platforms, Realm Royale: Reforged peaked at 3,641 concurrent players on steam on August 23rd 2022, its highest concurrent user count since June 2019.Īssuming all platforms grew at a similar rate, and the Epic Game Store enjoyed similar numbers due to Realm Royales’ similarities to Fortnite, we are looking at peak activity of around 20k players, something that Realm Royale has not enjoyed for a very long time. ![]() ![]() Realm Royale: Reforged FAQ How Many People Play Realm Royale: Reforged? Animal Mounts: June 2022 (Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 3).Įditor’s Comment: While many accuse Hi-Rez of “copying someone else’s homework”, it’s intellectually dishonest not to recognise that despite sharing many similarities with other titles, Hi-Rez continually brings innovation to whatever genre they invest in, and I hope they continue to do so for many years to come.Class Abilities: February 2019 (Apex Legends).Self-Revive: February 2019 (Apex Legends).Weapon Upgrades: October 2019 (Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 1).Crafting: March 2021 (Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 6).The following mechanics were present in Realm Royale at launch in June 2018. Realm Royale has often been dismissed as a Fortnite clone, and while the similarities are unmistakeable Realm Royale, upon launch in 2018, was “ahead of its time” and introduced many concepts and mechanics to the genre that would later go on to appear in titles such as Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone and Apex Legends. This is accomplished by turning downed players into chickens and tasking them to survive for 15 seconds in chicken form successfully doing so revives the player with 75% of their health and the contents of their inventory.Įditor’s Comment: While escaping an armed opponent as a defenceless chicken sounds impossible, for players who are willing to take risks and think outside of the box, escaping your attacker and coming back stronger to avenge your own death is a very real possibility, and quiet frankly feels fantastic. While many battle royales offer a way for players to respawn with the help of allies, Realm Royale was the first title which allowed players to revive themselves up to three times per match. While we have not yet been given a statement on what Realm Royale: Reforged Update means for the future of Realm Royale, just knowing that someone is working on Realm Royale again is great news for its small but dedicated community, many of whom have been here since the beginning. The Realm Royale: Reforged Update launched 934 days after Deviled Eggs Update, which was slated to be the last updated Realm Royale was to receive and was followed a few months later by a statement by the CEO of Hi-Rez (Stewart Chisam ), who warned players that Realm Royale was no longer in development and outlined the reasons why, including its dwindling player base and rising costs, which resulted in Realm Royale losing around 100k for each month it was in active development. Realm Royale: Reforged is the relaunch that no one expected, and I couldn’t be happier to see its player base growing, even if it only lasts for a short while.
