PUBG_Riggles gets to the heart of the matter, even admitting that the constant faucet of new crates and cosmetics releasing while game-breaking bugs remain unattended to is a terrible look. It sounds like PUBG Corp. is indeed building out its development team to tend to these pressing matters, but he also insists that the crates aren\u2019t going anywhere, as they remain central to the continued monetization of the game. While this might not be what many players want to hear, the honesty coming from PUBG Corp. is, at least, somewhat refresh<\/p>\n

Over the past year or so, it’s become clear that PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ‘s Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG ‘s mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG ‘s biggest streamers – but they are looking to change that going forw<\/p>\n

Not long after the Battlefield V battle royale announcement was made, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fame, took to Twitter to respond. In all caps lock, the famed game developer sent the Battlefield Twitter account a public message, welcoming the “old friend” to the battle royale c<\/p>\n

The latest developer letter on Steam is focused on the game’s optimizations as well as its new map Sanhok (formerly known under its code name “Savage”), which will include new vehicles and even an exclusive weapon. Free updates are all well and good, but the studio’s communications lead PUBG_Riggles took to Reddit to speak about PUBG ‘s loot boxes . People don’t want them, PUBG has them, and they\u2019ve been a persistent focus for the game\u2019s development while optimization issues, cheaters, and other nasty bits of business have seemingly warranted more attention than they\u2019ve received. This has not gone unnoticed by the game\u2019s massive community, which boasts over 600,000 subscribers to the official subred<\/p>\n

The Korea Times reported PUBG filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court against Epic Games Korea for alleged copyright infringement on Friday. Details are currently scarce on the PUBG – Fortnite lawsuit, but past statements from Bluehole allude to the alleged copyright violation. ” We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG missions<\/a> in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press, ” wrote Chang Han Kim back in September of 2017. ” This was never discussed with us and we don’t feel that it’s righ<\/p>\n

The developers behind **PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds ** detailed a new update and admitted to players that they have dropped the ball over the past year. In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG \u2019s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu<\/p>\n

With Fortnite eschewing loot boxes entirely in its Battle Royale mode (although individual seasons offer their own unique cosmetics, similar to Overwatch ), it\u2019s already ahead of the curve. Perhaps by the time Sanhok arrives, the wait for for a more stable game will seem like it was worth it. However, with a never-ending stream of cosmetics and constant reminders for microtransactions blemishing player inventory, all while many of them experience blatant performance issues, PUBG Corp. should keep running \u2014 that blue wall might be closer than it lo<\/p>\n

At this point, it’s too soon to say whether the game will completely eclipse PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . After all, Battlefield V has a multiplayer mode and a single-player mode, which are things that may take away the focus from its battle royale mode. It also means that the development team will be unable to completely focus on the battle royale game mode, something that may work in the PUBG team’s fa<\/p>\n

Both Bluehole and Epic Games had worked together in the past, but that relationship was damaged once the latter launched Fortnite ‘s battle royale mode back in September of last year. Shortly after the mode launched, Bluehole Vice President Chang Han Kim released a statement saying that the company was ” concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known .” In the months since release, Epic Games’ third-person shooter has surpassed PUBG in both player count and revenue, which has presumedly hurt relationships between the two companies further. Additionally, Epic Games has teamed up with Neowiz Games, not Bluehole, to bring Fortnite to the Korea market in the second quarter of 2<\/p>\n

After months of waiting, **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** is finally releasing the full version of its Sanhok map on June 22. Coming exclusively to the PC version of the game, PUBG ‘s third map will be 1\/4 the size of the other two, which makes it conveniently close to the dimensions of Fortnite . As well as a new locale to explore, players are also being lumbered with more controversial ways for PUBG Corp. to make money thanks to a Fortnite -inspired event p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
