However, opting for an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5 could mean players will witness better graphics on PUBG and likely new elements. The updates are expected to enroll on PC and consoles first. “The PUBG 2 thing (PC/console) is something we’re still waiting for by 2022,” the dataminer said.

While we are yet to hear anything concrete from the developers, readers are advised to take it with a pinch of salt. On a related note, PUBG Corp, Krafton Inc designed PUBG: New State is set to arrive soon on the mobile platform. The new version will parachute players into a new 8×8 map called Troi. The game set in 2051 will have futuristic vehicles, and more destructible environments.
