Last Cell Standing: Battle Royale

Battle Royale, a fight to be the last one standing, has arrived. Here's how to survive to the very end as the safe zone closes in.

A short, fierce fight to survive

Up to 10 players set off together and build up their swarms, and the one player who survives to the end wins. Once you've used up every respawn, you're out.

A safe zone that keeps shrinking

The safe zone shrinks toward the center of the battlefield over time, and you take damage nonstop outside it. Each knockout makes it shrink faster, leaving less and less room to breathe as the match nears its end.

Tips for lasting to the end

  • The center of the battlefield, where Cell Gardens appear, stays inside the zone to the end
  • Go after the Special Cell Gardens and Nutrient Gardens hidden in thickets
  • Rally your cells to slip out of a losing fight, and go after opponents pushed out by the zone

Knocked out, but not done

Once you're knocked out, you can spectate the remaining players' final fight. When the match ends, brag about your results to your friends.
