It's April Fools' Day, so don't trust anything you read. Most developers will make a throwaway announcement that will make you double take, chuckle for a few seconds, and then move on, but Grinding Gear Games has gone the whole hog and temporarily transformed its free-to-play action RPG Path of Exile into a 100-player battle royale game. Seriously.

"Based on community feedback, we are announcing that we have abandoned the action RPG genre to focus on what players really want. Path of Exile is being replaced by Path of Exile: Royale, a 100-person free-for-all battle royale game," it said on its website. It claims that it only took one day of development to make the switch.
