KRAFTON, the creator of the globally acclaimed PUBG franchise, is set to expand its universe with four new titles targeting various platforms and audiences. This strategic move aims to diversify gameplay experiences and cater to a broader player base.
New Titles in Development
- Black Budget: An extraction shooter designed for PC players, offering intense player-versus-environment-versus-player (PvPvE) scenarios.
- Blindspot (ARC): A top-down tactical shooter for PC, emphasizing strategic combat and team coordination.
- Valor: A battle royale experience tailored for console gamers, promising dynamic gameplay and competitive action.
- Unannounced Mobile Project: A hybrid casual game aimed at younger audiences, blending accessible gameplay with engaging mechanics to attract the next generation of players.
Strategic Focus on Mobile Gaming
Despite mobile gaming being a significant revenue driver for KRAFTON, with a 35.7% increase in mobile revenue in 2024, the company currently has only one mobile title in development. This unannounced project is expected to offer a more relaxed and approachable style of play, potentially mixing simple, easy-to-pick-up gameplay with deeper mechanics.
KRAFTON’s Commitment to the PUBG Universe
KRAFTON has been actively expanding the PUBG Universe through various initiatives, including webtoons, short animations, and even a survival-horror spinoff, The Callisto Protocol. The company aims to create a long-lasting and well-loved franchise by providing enjoyable experiences across PC, console, and mobile platforms.
