We round up everything we know about the new PUBG title.
PUBG: New State has finally arrived, ready to breathe new life into the battle royale frenzy of recent times – which has seen likes of Fortnite, Apex Legends and Warzone continue the gaming world’s obsession with the last-man-standing mode. A mobile exclusive, PUBG: New State was revealed in February 2021 alongside a cryptic announcement trailer which, naturally, left fans eager to learn more about the survival shooter. How eager? Well, the game’s developer, Krafton, revealed that over 50 million pre-registrations were processed on the Google Play Store in anticipation of its arrival on November 11,2021. Now, though, it’s finally here, and below, you’ll find all you need to know about PUBG: New State, including information on its new maps, modes and features. First off, it’s worth clarifying that PUBG: New State is not PUBG 2 (hence why we’re hesitant to call it a sequel). Rather, it’s a new battle royale game exclusive to Android and iOS, following the release of PUBG Mobile in 2018 and PUBG Mobile Lite in 2020, the latter of which has since been discontinued. The main difference to the original mobile-only game (and, for that matter, the console equivalent) is its futuristic setting: the game takes place in 2051 on a new map called Troi, and has appropriately advanced weapons and perks. PUBG: New State has added several new features to the existing battle royale formula that helped put the original game on the map, which we’ll detail below, but it still looks very much like the traditional PUBG experience we’ve come to know and love. Interestingly, the game was developed by PUBG Studios (the makers of the original PC hit) rather than Tencent, the team behind PUBG Mobile.
