Speculations suggest that something big may be cooking up at KRAFTON. Last month, PUBG Corporation announced its merger with KRAFTON to become a single entity. Now we have leaks saying that a sequel to PUBG Mobile, PUBG Mobile 2.0 is under development and might release in the near future. The Korean news media outlet MTN reports this exciting news.
KRAFTON Is Currently Developing PUBG Mobile 2.0?
According to the leaked information, KRAFTON is going all-in to develop its next game under the ‘Battleground’ IP rights. The internal development of the PUBG Mobile sequel has been underway, following the original game's concepts. It will continue the authentic sequel PC and console multi-platform to deliver the classic worldview of ‘Battlegrounds’. The upcoming game has been labeled as ‘Battleground Mobile 2’ or PUBG Mobile 2.0.
Quoting an inside source from KRAFTON, MTN reported that PUBG Corporation has been developing a new mobile game. It's ‘Project XTRM’, which kicked off in the first half of 2020 and is now in full swing. There has not been much information regarding the game, but reports say it will be based on Battleground. If everything goes according to plan, we may just have Battleground 2.0 in the near future.
The game is still way in its developmental stages. We would have to wait for some more time to find out whether the leaks about PUBG Mobile 2.0 are correct. Also, leaks suggest there will be an announcement in March 2021 regarding the sequel. Players should stay alert and look out for that news.
