changedWHAT ABOUT PC?We want to bring "Badiya Battle Royale" to a wider audience on Steam. While we have the game fully playable on PC, the issue is how to find a viable business model that can cover the cost of multiplayer servers. On mobile this is handled through video ads that are shown before matches start but this can't be applied on PC to our knowledge. We do plan on having cosmetic in-app purchases for clothes but that is still further down the line. Please let us know your suggestions for this situation.
addedBADIYA: DESERT SURVIVAL UPDATES:Work is underway on Alpha 1.9.7 and the speed boost to performance is looking great. We are fixing some bugs and polishing the new (optional) first person perspective to provide a good experience in all gameplay scenarios. We will update you as soon as we get closer to the release.

We would like to introduce you to a new Badiya experience that is joining the family. So Badiya is now two products:

1- Badiya: Desert Survival: This is the Survival RPG game you all know about which is currently in Early Access on PC and is on track for completion and full release on Windows/PS4 and Xbox One as planned.

2-Badiya: Battle Royale: Is a fast paced multiplayer battle royale game based on the world of "Badiya: Desert Survival". While "Badiya: Desert Survival" focuses on the single player Survival RPG experience, the Battle Royale entry puts the player in a 100 player experience where a sandstorm is ever closing from all directions and your goal is to be the last person alive.

NOTE: "Badiya: Battle Royale" is built using Unreal Engine 4 and uses the majority of content and environment from the main game. The project has its own team so that it doesn't affect the development of "Badiya Desert Survival".

LAUNCH TRAILER:

FEATURES:

  • A detailed environment filled with several points of interest including: Bedouin Camps, Villages, Ancient Ruins, Bandit Camps, Oil Refineries, Military Bases, Ranches and Crashed Airplane Sites, all filled with loot.

  • A variety of period accurate weapons ranging from handguns, rifles, shotguns to sniper rifles.

  • Support for Solo mode at launch, Duo and Squad Modes will follow later.

  • Available as a start on iOS and Android. Windows, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One are planned for the future.

  • Cross-play support with other platforms in the same match.

  • Available in both English and Arabic.
