PUBG has become one of the biggest names in gaming. It is the progenitor of the battle royale genre - the first game to bring such a large number of players together to fight to the death. Its mobile version has become a household name in India... until its ban very recently.
However, no king rules forever - PUBG's numbers on PC has been dwindling down in the last 2 years, as people moving on and play other games. This is where PUBG 2 comes in - in this article, we would list out everything you need to know about this potential development.

According to a report published in November 2020 by MTN, a Korean News website. Apparently, a new BR project is currently in full development in Krafton - with the PUBG team moved over to work on it.
Apparently, they have been working on this project for half a year now - it is named 'Project XTRM' and is likely to be the concept of 'PUBG 2'. Similar to Fortnite, this title is going to be fully Cross-platform. Players from PCs, consoles and mobile can play together like normal without having to worry about compatibility problems.
