This is the version of Kill/Stream that we are, quite literally, dropped into, as the latest crop of contestants is en route to the show’s undisclosed island location, preparing to parachute out of a cargo plane. Over time, however, worldwide economic conditions have seen the game show evolve into a more inclusive battleground, hosting online streamers and content creators whose eye is as much on the prospect of boosting their celebrity status as on the cash prize. Initially conceived as a battle royale for the worst of the worst to compete for a $10 million cash prize, the show has seen death row inmates transform into millionaire celebrities overnight. Things start off promising enough: It’s the nebulous near future, a world run and ruled by corporations, and conglomerate Alyn Corp is about to live stream the thirteenth season of its winner-take-all life-or-death competition, Kill/Stream.

Even before Fortnite’s meteoric rise, the concept has appeared in other games, popular films like the Hunger Games franchise and, of course, 2000’s eponymous Japanese film (itself based on the novel).ĭevelopers Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media have taken a crack at adapting the formula into an interactive action movie, attempting to combine bombastic action set pieces with choose-your-own-adventure player agency, the latter being something they’ve had quite a bit of experience with. The battle-royale-style narrative isn’t precisely uncharted territory anymore.
