King of the Battleground is an all-new online last-man-standing challenge between players around the world.
This is a never-ending Royal Rumble game: four players start in the ring while four other superstars wait outside to enter, challenging you to run the gauntlet and defeat them all.
Eliminate your opponents by throwing them out of the ring. Any Superstar who leaves the ring is automatically eliminated.
New incoming Superstars wait their turn outside the ring. When anyone is eliminated, the Superstar who has been waiting the longest enters the ring, while a new player is match-made into that 8th spot and waits their turn.
The longer you last, the better the rewards will be, so stay in the ring as long as you can! There are Leaderboards that show your survival time records and how many people you eliminated.
