They say that all's fair in love and war, so PUBG is here to remind its players just that. According to PUBG Corp. on Steam , a new update is coming to PUBG that will tweak some of the game's biggest draws and weaknesses. According to the post, the main aim is to level the playing field when it comes to the battle royale's weap
This means that no one weapon will be better than the rest, instead, forcing gamers to pick based on their own personal preference or what sticky situation they find themselves in. While some of the more popular ARs will undoubtedly be knocked down a peg or two, it also means that other fan-favorite peashooters will get seriously jacked up in the firepower sta
The Korea Times reported PUBG Tips filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court against Epic Games Korea for alleged copyright infringement on Friday. Details are currently scarce on the PUBG - Fortnite lawsuit, but past statements from Bluehole allude to the alleged copyright violation. " We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press, " wrote Chang Han Kim back in September of 2017. " This was never discussed with us and we don't feel that it's righ
While PUBG propelled Greene to superstardom within the gaming community, it wasn't his first project. He previously made a name for himself by helping birth the Battle Royale genre by creating mods for both ARMA 2 and DayZ . Then, he went on to consult on Daybreak Games' H1Z1 (which recently made its way to PlayStation 4 and managed to get over 4.5 million downloads in just three days) before teaming up with Bluehole in order to create PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has launched its very first Event Pass, the 30-day Sanhok Event Pass, and players are already incredibly frustrated. The Pass, which grants rewards to PUBG players for leveling up via daily time invested and the completion of challenges, has been shown to demand a level of commitment that can be described as excessive. Further, it may even be impossible to complete without paying for the Premium P
Now that the Sanhok Event Pass is available in-game, players are able to measure exactly how much they need to accomplish in order to progress in the Pass. All challenges, as well as other sources of experience, are available to see and draw conclusions from. And the results are quite disappointing, especially for those who don't want to spend the $9.99 Event Pass price up fr
The Korean company behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is taking Fortnite _ developer Epic Games to court. The Bluehole subsidiary PUBG filed a lawsuit in January claiming that Epic's free-to-play battle royale title is infringing on its copyright.

Anyway, I'm getting riled up here lol. Back to the story. The Madison folks were doing great work, so they began to take on more and more worldbuilding work. Miramar came about as result of collaboration between the new, PUBG Madison team and the Korean team at HQ in Se
When Epic Games announced the addition of a free to play battle-royal mode to their then burgeoning title Fortnite , comparisons to Player Unknown's Battlegrounds quickly began to emerge. Since then, the shooter builder survival hybrid has become Battleground's biggest competitor and now it seems the rivalry has gone to new heights, with PUBG Corp. taking Epic Games to court over the two games similarit
As our in-house art teams built Miramar, they began to rely less on store-bought assets, although they continued to use them strategically, because it just doesn’t make sense to build everything in the game world yourself. We also re-used some things from Erangel in Miramar. One of our lead artists (a guy called Dave) puts it this
For newbies and seasoned players alike, it will mean that maps are no longer littered with people simply running for the assault rifles and gunning everyone down from a distance, however, does it not rob PUBG of some of the fun? Making everyone equal (or more equal) will at least force gamers to become better at **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** instead of running towards the best weapon and grabbing it as beginner's luck. There is no word on when PUBG Corp. will roll out the patch, but developers promise it will be "very so
This is hardly the first time tensions have been raised between the two companies over Fortnite's battle-royal mode. When the new mode became available last year, vice-president of PUBG Corp. parent company Bluehole Chang Han Kim expressed concern over the new game mode copying PUBG , saying "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is kno
