Forget PUBG: New State, Krafton may launch PUBG 2 battle royale next year

Krafton may be working on the next generation of its battle royale game called PUBG Battlegrounds.

Krafton’s universe of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is already expanding. Its smash-hit PUBG Mobile recently got an Indian version called Battlegrounds Mobile India as a workaround for last year’s ban by the Indian government, while its next course will be decided by what the PUBG: New State battle royale will bring. The latter is coming later this year, but Krafton may have another game up its sleeves. There may be a PUBG 2 in the making right now and it may be the sequel to PUBG.

Twitter user PlayerIGN has reported that Krafton Amsterdam is hiring a technical art director and a technical animator for an “unannounced project”. People in these two roles will work with the Art Director, Game Director, and Producer at Krafton. The tipster also said it would be a AAA game that will be based on Unreal Engine 5, and according to him, this PUBG sequel “was discussed a few months ago”.
