About CoreBattle

Built by passionate Australian gamers with one goal: to deliver the most honest and comprehensive gaming content in the country.

CoreBattle Team

Australia's Gaming Voice

CoreBattle was founded in 2019 by a group of Sydney-based gamers who were frustrated by the lack of locally-focused gaming coverage. Too many reviews were written from a Northern Hemisphere perspective, ignoring the unique challenges Australian players face — from server latency to regional release schedules.

Today, CoreBattle is home to a team of over twenty dedicated writers, video producers, and esports analysts spread across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. We cover everything from indie gems to blockbuster releases, and from grassroots LAN events to major international tournaments hosted on Australian soil.
