A living world, as deadly as it is beautiful. The other combatants are only one of your worries, and not always the most threatening!

WELCOME TO INSULA

Welcome to Insula, the BR, that's not a BR. Insula is moreso, a creative vision, of what a BR could be. While it is based on the primary underlying concepts of the BR genre, we have strived to give it depth, and turn it into an experience you will truly remember. We have removed the more blatant and cumbersome mechanics and replaced them with system designs that we believe will give you, the player, a more engaging experience... a sense of purpose.

Insula is not just a battlefield where a bunch of players will duke it out for bragging rights. It has history, it has a life of its own. It is a living world with many experiences waiting to be discovered. It is beautiful, it is primal, it is deadly. It just also happens to be the locale of a great warriors battle. Will you be that warrior?

Welcome to Insula, we hope you enjoy our vision!

BIG, Bad and Custom

CUSTOM BUILT YOUR WAY
Customize your anthrobots & exosuits with a vast array of armor. Build them big and beefy or light and nimble; it's your style! And of course, no brand is complete without customizable paint jobs, logos, and programmed battle taunts!
MELEE IS NOT A LAST RESORT
Customization and play style are essential, you can customize your combat just as you customize your armor and drones. Lay waste to your opposition with lightning-fast strikes from small dual wield energy blades, wreak havoc with the wide arcing swings of your polearm, or pound them into scrap with devastating blows from massive rocket hammers.
DRONES AND ABILITIES
Once you've built your dream battle rig, finish it off by adding the perfect companion drone. They’ll provide data recording, scan analysis, and resource extraction. They also offer specific skills to use during combat. Armor repair, energy shields, advanced tracking, recon, and even stealth, pick one that's right for you!
PLAYER BOUNTIES
You're not just fighting for bragging rights. Bounties are the heart and soul of Insula: Bounty Royale. Each opponent has a bounty on their head. Putting them in the ground means creds in your pocket and upgrades! Upgrade your base, bot, & your lifestyle! Be mindful of your notoriety, though. The more you take, the more you're worth, and the more others will want to add you to their trophy list!
GOING VERTICAL
Our arena designs are unique, they span massive spaces with just as much verticality as horizontal space. But don't fret, every combatant has their very own fully customizable flight rig! Combat is designed with fast-paced, acrobatic aerial maneuvering in mind!
Private Islands
Private customizable and upgradable base that provides story advancement and lore discovery through seamlessly integrated discoveries and achievements during the multiplayer arena matches, as well as a way to display your hard-earned achievements as part of the base decor

BEAUTIFUL BUT DEADLY

The floating island of Insula is both beautiful and extremely deadly. The various biomes that make up the islands' ecosystem are home to all manner of frightful beasts. These creatures may be territorial, short tempered, or flat out hungry... some just kill for sport.

The environment itself also poses it's own array of threats. There are no shortages of danger here on Insula. Happy trails settler!

Then there's the pyramid. No one knows what it is, or where it came from. But when that thing appeared... the whole place went to hell.

Adrian Martuneac
Creative Director

Ad is a curious creature, he enjoys creating non-existing things, some say he lives in a world of his own because he has a crazy imagination, others say he was born in the wrong dimension where robots, creatures and aliens aren’t as common so he’s slowly but surely trying to change that by bringing to life his creations at least in the game development world.
