Just because a game dominates on PC and consoles, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll dominate on mobile. Take PUBG and Fortnite. These seminal battle royale games are the only two shows in town on the big screen, but on mobile they have a fearsome rival.
Rules of Survival, NetEase’s mobile take on the battle royale genre, has always been a major contender for the top spot, thanks to its huge 300-player matches, 8×8 km maps, impressive selection of weapons and vehicles, and superslick graphics.
And it’s just got a lot better, following the release of the new Ultra version. Rules of Survival Ultra introduces a number of revolutionary upgrades to the playing experience, such as high-definition graphics, improved physics, real-time dynamic lighting effects, and major tweaks to the engine.
There’s a new dynamic weather system, too, and the game world is now subject to constant day/night cycles. Sessions can be played in bright sunshine or midnight drizzle, moody sunset or impenetrable fog.

The effect is to create a more organic, living, breathing world to romp around in as you school noobs with your slick moves (or get schooled by the slick moves of others, because you are yourself a noob).
Naturally, there are new moves to be slick at too. Thanks in part to the different conditions you’ll be forced to play in you’ll need to come up with new strategies for making the most of your environment. Successful players will be the ones who use the conditions to their advantage.
Improvements to the game engine also introduce new tactical variables. For instance, you’ll now be able to break windows to enter buildings, or destroy doors to get to your cowering enemies. You’ll even be able to shoot the tires out from under cars.
Rules of Survival Ultra is coming to the Asia-PC server on December 12th, with the Asia-Mobile server following a week later.
In the meantime, you can download Rules of Survival right now for free on Google Play (and the App Store).
