Tencent didn’t reveal which mobile platforms it’s bringing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to, though one has to imagine that both Android and iOS devices will be represented. Tencent also didn’t reveal how PUBG would be altered for it to work on a mobile platform, but fans should expect more details on that front in the coming months. While Tencent was light on details when it comes to its PUBG mobile port, it did confirm that this version of the game would be released in China fi

At the time of writing, Epic Games hasn’t responded to Bluehole’s original statement or these newly released comments. With PUBG Vehicles recently crossing 10 million sales and Fortnite quickly rising to prominence, what remains abundantly clear is that many will continue offering their own thoughts on the situation, as it doesn’t seem it can be easily swept under the

Ascent: Infinite Realm represents a change of pace for the developer. While the game, like PUBG, will be a multiplayer title, genre and setting will be quite different. The welcome message on Ascent: Infinite Realm ‘s site sums up the new direction: “Get ready for an amazing world filled with Airships, Dragons, Magic & Exciteme

Moving forward, Kim hopes to start an official conversation between Bluehole and Epic Games. He again stated that this entire situation is only a problem because Epic Games makes the engine Bluehole uses, and that the developer pays “a large amount of royalties” to Epic Games. “We had this business relationship and we had trust that we would be getting continued support, and we were looking forward to working more closely with them to get technical support, maybe develop new features,” stated Kim. “Our name was used to officially promote their game without our knowledge. There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we’re officially involved in the proje

What many gaming fans disagreed with in the original statement was the implication that Bluehole had some type of ownership over battle royale or last man standing game modes. Kim made it clear that the developer isn’t in any way claiming that. “It’s not for us to even comment,” he said. Kim then reiterated that the focus of Bluehole’s apparent frustration is Epic Games, who specifically mentioned PUBG in its marketing materials for the new gameplay m

Assuming the mobile port of PUBG is a success, the game will become a true powerhouse and has potential to break video game sales records. Alternatively, Tencent may opt to ditch PUBG ‘s initial asking price and make a profit using the game’s loot box system and microtransactions. Either way, it’s hard to see how a mobile version of PUBG won’t be a big moneymaker for everyone invol

When Epic Games announced that its fort-building survival title Fortnite was getting an all-new Battle Royale mode, comparisons to Bluehole’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) were immediately made. And in the same quick fashion, tensions also flared. Bluehole vice president Chang Han Kim commented that the developer was worried that Fornite might be replicating PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds gameplay , criticizing the way Epic Games had marketed the new Fornite m

PewDiePie then apologized for the incident, saying that he is sorry if he had “offended, hurt or disappointed anyone” with his inappropriate language. Wrapping up his video, the YouTuber stated that he really wants to “improve,” not just for himself, but for all those who are influenced by

If the mobile port of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is high quality, it’s likely that the game will also make its way stateside and to other regions. After all, PUBG is one of the most popular video games currently available, shattering concurrent player records on Steam and selling over 20 million copies at last count. Considering its popularity, it would make sense for developer PUBG Corporation (a subsidiary of Bluehole) to bring it to as many platforms as possi

Without a doubt, the popularity of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds continues to grow, as the title recently managed to reach over 3 million players on Xbox One just about a week ago. Of course, with such a huge pool of gamers flocking to the title, there are bound to be some rotten apples in the bunch, and the development team at PUBG Corp has confirmed just that by revealing its intentions to ban over 100,000 cheaters on the title’s PC vers

Titled “My Response,” the short video is devoid of PewDiePie’s trademark shock humor, and directly addresses his use of a racial slur. The YouTuber begins by saying that he always found the use of inappropriate racial slurs by other players “immature and stupid” before conceding that he hates how he “personally fed into that part of gaming as well.” PewDiePie continues by saying that his use of a racial slur had “slipped out” in the heat of the moment and that he’s “disappointed” in himself because this latest incident demonstrates that he has “learned nothing” from all his past controversi
