PUBG Studio Formed to Create More Avenues for PUBG in Esports, Entertainment
News 18In a bid to expand and diversify PUBG, including PUBG Mobile and its related activities around the world, PUBG Corp owner, the Korean developer and publisher Krafton, has announced that PUBG Corp will be merged and transformed into PUBG Studio. The latter will be the fourth game studio under Krafton’s arm, and PUBG Studio will work towards expanding the PUBG universe in related esports and entertainment fields. Hence, PUBG Studio will only focus on developing aspects around the PUBG game – including PUBG’s PC and console versions, PUBG Mobile, regional entities such as PUBG Mobile India and other aspects. This studio is also listed with Krafton as a AAA game development studio, which suggests that the game may take PUBG beyond its live-play, battle royale approach. However, it is unlikely that game development will also be entirely transferred to the India subsidiary, although PUBG India may have decision powers in terms of organising esports tournaments – a big part of PUBG Mobile’s massive popularity in India.
