August 5, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Just last week, I reported on a leak that hinted at a new zombie-specific game mode coming to Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. Well they’re herrrrrrre. PUBG Labs, where the designers explore ideas without breaking the main game, has just added a time-limited ‘Zombie Survival’ game mode today. That name is very on the nose. It’s a PvE horde mode against waves of the undead. And they are nude. Read more

PUBG is adding respawns, footballs in the lobbies, and a gun you can’t reload

May 27, 2021RockPaperShotgun

I never got into PUBG. I didn’t enjoy putting all that time and effort into the game only to die once and be returned to the main menu. That’s why I spend my battle royale funtimes in Warzone, where I can at least punch my way back into the game. But in Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds’s 2021 roadmap, they’ve announced a new map that will allow players to respawn. Depending on the turnaround time, I might just have to get back into Plunkbat.

PUBG introduces MGS-style Fulton balloons

March 24, 2021VG247

Some hot air can save your ass in the battle royale hit.You can now quickly move to PUBG‘s safe zone using balloons.In an update on the game’s website, developer PUBG Studio revealed the new Emergency Pickup item, which sees players hoisted up into the air by a balloon that is then hooked onto a plane passing overhead. This is one way of quickly reaching the circle, or can be a means of escaping a spicy situation.There’s a lot of risk to using the Emergency Pickup, though. The item is pretty heavy and – like the game’s flare gun – can…

Why some of the team behind Dead Space are returning to sci-fi horror with The Callisto Protocol

December 11, 2020VG247

We talk about pushing the genre forward, life after triple-A and whether the death of single-player games has been overstated.The Callisto Protocol isn’t the game that many of us were expecting from Striking Distance, but it’s not exactly a surprise.The studio was founded last year by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds maker PUBG Corp with Visceral and Sledgehammer vet Glen Schofield at the helm. The outfit said that it was working on an “original narrative experience” set in the same world as the company’s battle royale hit.So it was a bit of a shock when the trailer for its debut project – sci-fi…

PUBG lore has been made easier to digest thanks to official new website

October 25, 2020VG247

A new PUBG website has launched that collects years of the game’s history and lore into one easily navigable place.PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds is hailed by many players as one of the games that kicked off the battle royale craze that’s dominated much of the current generation, but in some ways, the game lagged behind its competitors as time went on.Where titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone managed to weave a story and progressive narrative elements into the game over time, PUBG instead remained focussed on its match-to-match focus, eschewing lore and a persistent story for a long time.Developer PUBG…
