So, it seems that this article states that the film Battle Royal released in 2000 is the origin of the name of this genre of game, but there are no references to this whatsoever and, indeed, the term battle royale has been used in the context of a free for all since...well technically centuries but in the context of a video game since the 1990's. In fact, this article itself alludes to this. Sanctusune ( talk) 18:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
@ Sanctusune: We have acknowledged that there are a number of unnamed pc games that likely had Battle Royale elements before PUBG, but we have no sources that document these in depth. They may have certainly been called Battle Royale, but they aren't considered to be the key games that defined this genre. And the sources that link these games to the film Battle Royale are going off Brendan Greene's own statements, so we can't change that. -- Masem ( t) 18:27, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Star Fox 64 ("Lylat Wars" in some regions) came out in 1997. Its multiplayer had a "Battle Royal" mode, which was also last-man-standing. This predates the earliest other references in the article. 110.145.146.198 ( talk) 22:45, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
