I've always thought it was weird that there hasn't been a Hunger Games video game. Not to play out the teen movie storyline, but as the Battle Royale part.

Imagine creating a character using typical RPG elements (strength, endurance, speed, crafting, survival, etc.) with a limited number of points, the same number of points as everyone else. Then you're placed inside different large arenas that have environmental hazards for a Battle Royale survival that could last up to 30 minutes per game if you're good enough to make it to the end.

You have to survive against random encounters just like the gamemasters use in the books, dangerous animals, and you can get sponsorship drops like the COD kill streak rewards (healing items, tools, weapons). You could even make it through by not killing anyone if you're good enough at surviving the environment, but you'd better hope you don't end up in a fight.

I just think a game like that would be sick.

It's not a dedicated game and idk if servers even run these anymore, but the original popular "battle royal" was minecraft hunger games servers and they did kinda run like that - no stats obviously, but throwing you empty into a bounded world where you'd have to survive and craft and kill monsters and each other. I think some of them might've even had like your sponsor drops where you'd get potions or enchanted stuff
