Spellbreak, developed and published by Proletariat, is a free to play, class based battle royale, released for the PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch Consoles.
Players in Spellbreak are able to choose their class and build upon it, customizing their talents and mastering the power they harness, as they fit it to tailor to their playstyle. Players can choose from 6 different classes, those being: Frostborn, Conduit, Pyromancer, Toxicologist, Stoneshaper or Tempest. Each feature a specific element, which players can use to combine with others to become more powerful.
Players are dropped into the match with a gauntlet, which is their source for primary and secondary attacks, and replaces the traditional arsenal of other battle royale games, aka guns, with spells. Players can seize hold of two of these powerful gauntlets, and begin to blend combinations of spells to inflict more damage and devastation on their enemies. These gauntlets come in 5 different rarities, with the higher tiers have increasing amount of damage, and taking lesser amount of mana to use.
Alongside these powerful gauntlets, players are able to explore the Battlegrounds of the Hollow Lands, and discover hidden chests, which contain runes and equipment, giving abilities such as flying, teleportation, time control and more, allowing the players to change the course of battle in their favor.
The game also features Cross Play, allowing players to compete against other battlemages from other platforms, as well as Cross Progression, which lets them continue their fight from any system, bringing their progress and customization to those systems.

Very attractive animation style, but the real question is, can you play as an elf? Regardless, downloading it now!
I hope elf skins come to shop soon, can't wait when Spellbreak is part of TAW :)
I played the game periodically during closed testing. It was definitely a breath of fresh air for the BR genre with its unique combat system based around magic types with a diverse range of projectile types.
