In celebration of the imminent launch, a trailer was released on the official PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds YouTube channel. Although billed as a trailer, the video plays more like a short film, with Vogt-Roberts’ big screen sensibilities shining through. The video stars Nick Robinson and Jason Mitchell, who previously worked with Vogt-Roberts on Kings of Summer and Kong: Skull Island , respectively. After parachuting into a real-world version of the game’s environment, Mitchell is beset by numerous gun-toting threats with only a frying pan (and some perfectly punctual allies) for protection.

“Maybe it was its immersive gameplay, or its gripping story… its well-crafted characters, immaculate design, or addictive multiplayer. Whatever the reason, the winner of 2018’s Game of the Year Award is an instant classic,” Steam announc
“The past five years of my life has been all about battle royale…today, I’m excited to announce that my new day-to-day focus will be heading up a new division of PUBG Corp.: PUBG Special Projects. While I’ll remain as consulting creative director on PUBG , development will be led by Taeseok Jang and the fantastic team I have had the honor of working with over the past three yea
In a recent article published by the Navbharat Times, the publication said, “There are dangerous consequences to this game. Many children have lost their mental balance.” The Navbharat Times then went on to say that kids are becoming “manorogi,” which is the Hindi word for “psychopa
That belief can be seen not only in Metal Gear Solid concept art but this new short film-style trailer. Nothing seen in the trailer can actually be executed in the game, after all. Well, except wiping out your opponents, that is. Instead, the trailer retains the general themes and concepts represented in the game. It also emphasizes the epic, tense, and amusing scenarios that can arise in the game – all of which serve to make the genre so addictive. With a big screen Resident Evil reboot coming, Hollywood isn’t giving up on mining material from games. Thankfully, Vogt-Roberts is helping to pave the way and show them how it’s d
Unfortunately, things don’t seem to be getting any better in the land of PUBG , as Game Revolution reports the Joker skin will reportedly run players $20 while Harley Quinn is $25. That isn’t even for dead-on representations of those two characters as they appear in Suicide Squad , either – the skins are costume sets, so they merely alter the player’s model to look mostly like the character they’ve chosen. Needless to say, fans are disappointed by the high cost of the costume packs, which can be bought individually for equally unsettling prices. Fans who just want to purchase Joker’s makeup, for instance, will still need to shell out $5, while Harley Quinn’s bat is
The game is certainly deserving, having left the gaming universe in awe following its release. Unfortunately, web Fortnite took over and even that is now being overshadowed by Respawn and EA’s launching of Apex Legends , a BR based on the Titanfall series that amazingly garnered 10 million users in its first three da
Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, will be leaving his old position working on _PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ in favor of a different direction. The creator of one of the most popular battle royale games of all-time announced he would be pursuing a brand new project and would be taking on a different role within PUBG Corporation as a res
Commonly referred to as PUBG, the fellow video game property was first released in 2017. Inspired by the popular Japanese film, it kickstarted the Battle Royale genre of games, selling over 5 million copies in three months. A version of the game was eventually released on Xbox One. However, it has been frequently plagued by performance issues, bugs, and aggressive monetization tactics, including insanely expensive DCEU skins . Despite that, and the fact it has since been surpassed by Fortnite __ in terms of popularity, PUBG still boasts a solid fanbase. In an effort to reclaim and expand on that base, the game will next release on the PS4. Although many fans were pleased with the announcement, there are also those that consider the move far too la
Overall, it’s a head-scratching decision from PUBG , especially as the game continues to lose huge swaths of its playerbase to Fortnite ‘s more popular battle royale offering. Some of the cost can probably be attributed to licensing expenses, but for a title in desperate need of some good PR, this is yet another move that’s just going to drive players away. After making a public promise to fix the issues in PUBG earlier this year, the developer has appeared to do anything but, and it seems like things are beginning to spiral out of control for a game that used to be one of the biggest in the wo
The battle royale title, which actually gave the genre its jump start that lead to massive cultural phenomena like Fortnite and Apex Legends come to the fore, was voted in as 2018’s best Steam game by fans, who were prompted to name their favorites across eight awa
