MOBA, short for multiplayer online battle arena, is a real-time strategy game where two teams of players compete against each other on a pre-established map. Think of chess except other people are in control of your pieces. Each player controls one character with a set of unique abilities that upgrade over the course of a game. The ultimate objective is for each team to destroy their opponents’ main structure at the opposite corner of the map.
Battle Royales are online multiplayer games that blend last-man-standing gameplay with the exploration and scavenging elements of a survival game. Matches can involve dozens to hundreds of players all beginning with minimal equipment. To win, be the last player or team alive in the “safe zone”.
Although both mobile MOBAs and Battle Royales are immensely successful, the Battle Royale genre continues to hold dominance over MOBAs. MOBAs typically have a larger learning curve than most battle royals and are slower-paced. Plus, they attract loyal fans not interested in investing in new MOBA titles. This makes it harder for new MOBAs to break into the gaming market. The average mobile gamer is more inclined to play a quick round of battle royale. PC gaming is where MOBAs continue to have more success.
Going forward, news of a Riot Games’ Wild Rift esports tournament will positively impact MOBA and mobile game streaming numbers.
