New PUBG Game Announced
(GameSpot Wii News)

The next Playerunknown`s Battlegrounds game is in development, the game`s publisher has announced. The as yet untitled game is being made by a new studio named Striking Distance, which has appointed ex-Call of Duty and Dead Space developer Glen Schofield as CEO.The project is seemingly in its infancy, so little is known about the game at present. PUBG Corp.`s press release states the game is an `original narrative experience within the PUBG universe,` while Schofield hints the game might not be a battle royale title. He said: `As a creative, the freedom to explore the PUBG universe has me excited about the possibilities, which I view as beyond the battle royale genre.` Schofield went on to tweet that the new game is not a sequel to PUBG.PUBG began life as an Arma 2 mod, before being spun off into its own battle royale title--in early access on PC--in early 2017. It later came to both Xbox One and PS4.PUBG has also been one of the most influential games of the 21st century. It remains a huge game in its own right, but it has also inspired and influenced what is possibly the industry`s biggest trend right now in the battle royale genre, including successful titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
