During an interview with Gamespot during E3 2018, Senior Vice President Pete Hines was asked about the possibility that the company would develop a battle royale game.
Hines said, "[J]ust because battle royale is popular doesn’t mean it’s a good fit for us. If someone comes up with something battle royale / battle royale-esque that’s unique of cool, that’s something we’d consider, but we tend not to go chasing after trends.”
So if you were hoping to have Fallout 76 battle royale, you may want to temper your expectations.
