IIRC it was a joke mode to make fun of how popular BRs were.

I don't think this is quite right as BRs were new at the time. When Fortnite released there was really only PUBG in the battle royale space.

I believe it was something closer to a prototype they made in a month or two simply because they liked Battle Royales and thought it would be a fun gamemode to add a side thing.

Excuse me, Minecraft Hunger Games maps were a thing as well! ☝️🤓

(But yes, I agree, BRs were new.)

ACKSHUALLY "last man standing" was a game mode in Unreal Tournament 1999, so the concept was there for a long time

It was a game mode in most shooters, it was just a tacked on onr as opposed to a focus
