It’s been just over three years since the launch of the original – and hugely successful – PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), the game widely considered to have sparked the battle royale frenzy of the last few years.
Now, PUBG is finally getting an entirely new title – but it’s only coming to mobile.
Called PUBG: New State, the game was revealed in February 2021 alongside a lengthy (albeit cryptic) announcement trailer which has, naturally, left fans eager to learn more about the upcoming survival shooter.
How eager? Well, the game's developer, Krafton, recently announced that over ten million pre-registrations have been processed on the Google Play Store in anticipation of its arrival (pre-registration is coming to the App Store later this year). Doing so gets you an exclusive vehicle skin, but the real benefit is getting the latest updates – including when they can play.
That might not be for a while, though. Krafton and PUBG Corp have not announced when the game will go live, though we do know alpha tests are commencing in June 2021. Here, we break down everything we know about the game, from its premise to its release date.
We'll update this page with new details as they're released, so stay tuned to TechRadar for all the latest PUBG info.
