With the likes of Valve and Riot Games getting in on the action, the Auto Chess trend is flourishing on PC, but not so on consoles. Perhaps not until an unspecified date in 2020, that is, with developer Dragonest confirming at a fan event in Tokyo that Auto Chess would reach PS4 and Nintendo Switch next year.
The ?auto-battler? genre was born in early 2019 as a result of a wildly popular DOTA 2 mod, with large publishers then looking to lay their claim to a piece of the pie in a similar fashion to what happened with the battle royale craze. With its origins as a MOBA spin-off (think SMITE or Dark Eclipse), the successful transition of that particular tactical multiplayer genre seemingly makes a console version of Auto Chess a worthwhile venture.
