Ubisoft is developing a 100-player Auto Chess game

Might and Magic: Chess Royale is an autobattler game, similar to Dota Auto Chess, and incorporates battle royale elements.

Two extremely hot crazes of the game industry in the past few years are battle royale and Auto Chess, also known as autobattler. If you are wondering if anyone decided to combine these two genres into “autobattler royale” then January 30th will be your lucky day. Ubisoft will officially launch Might and Magic: Chess Royale, the first 100-player autobattler game.

Heroes and troops in Chess Royale, with distinct skill sets and clans, are taken from the Might and Magic universe. They can be upgraded and combined to create “unique combos” for different tactics. Between battles, you can use gold to acquire characters and take advantage of the “scouting phase” to analyze popular formations to come up with countermeasures.

Unfortunately, the article announcing Chess Royale doesn’t really say much, nor does it tell us how the game will actually play. The game won’t be 100 people fighting each other: based on some YouTube gameplay videos (takes from the mobile version of the game), players will participate in quick 1v1 matches, slowly defeating opponents until there is only one left. survivor.

It sounds complicated due to the huge number of participants, but the short match is considered the heart of the game: Chess Royale is “designed to provide a quick match” compared to other auto chess games, with a game duration of about 10 minutes. “Losing fast, winning fast,” Ubisoft said.

Might and Magic: Chess Royale is a free-to-play game and is scheduled to launch on January 30.
