Dead by Daylight proved horror multiplayer games still had legs in 2016, and Friday the 13th: The Game kept the momentum going in 2017. Gun Media's faithful preservation of the Friday the 13th horror aesthetic was met with near-universal praise, and while server issues and a choppy launch dulled the luster of Friday the 13th: The Game a little, it still made its way onto most gamers' playlists at some po

When a safe distance from any of the popular landmarks or the plane's path players will find a low populated, if not empty, landmark to loot at their leisure. This can allow players to collect a powerful arsenal of weapons and gear and steer them on the right path of survi

Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers.

Now, however, multiplayer has evolved into something that even those who have never picked up a controller have a better understanding of. Games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have captured the imagination of the world and fused victorious phrases like "winner winner, chicken dinner" into popular culture's colloquiali

Ian Huston: With Cloud9 on the forefront of esports as an industry leader, I strive to use my association and platform with them to be the best ambassador that I can be.
