PUBG might be getting new content from a scrapped sequel

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds could be set to get a swathe of new content initially intended for a follow-up game. That comes from The Loadout, who spoke to prominent PUBG leaker' PlayerIGN. The tipster explains that a sequel known as Project RE:BORN stalled after running into development issues. The game has since been abandoned, though some of its major features are reportedly coming to PUBG, such as cross-play between PC and console.

"My source tells me PUBG Project RE:BORN was originally meant to be the PUBG 2 game we were expecting," he says. "But the development team bumped into issues and are opting to go with an engine update/overhaul to the current game instead - a bit like Overwatch 2."

Talk of a sequel began to bubble up when former PUBG Corp CEO Kim Chang-hang told Bloomberg in January that a new "PUBG-related PC and console game" was set to release in 2022. PlayerIGN's sources also say that recent changes to the game, such as shifting the hosting from AWS to Microsoft Azure, the release of Taego and a future map known as Kiki, and loot buffs were all meant to happen last year. Due to the pandemic, though, the PUBG team had to shift priorities to keep the game fresh, which it did by releasing smaller maps.

PUBG is reportedly getting new content from an abandoned sequel

June 22, 2021 Krafton has confirmed the existence of Project Titan, but no other additional information is available at this time.

There's a whiff of change in the air for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. From Krafton's planned return to PUBG roots with a 8x8 map and new innovations like the second-chance mechanic, PUBG could well be reborn later this year.

While the flurry of game-changing updates to PUBG are nothing to worry about, many are confused as to why Krafton is deciding to roll them out now. Former PUBG Corp CEO, Kim Chang-hang, told Bloomberg in January that a new "PUBG-related PC and console game" was slated for release in 2022 - so why all the recent innovation to the original PUBG?

Prominent PUBG leaker, 'PlayerIGN', appears to have the answer, telling The Loadout exclusively that the sequel, known as Project RE:BORN, had some development issues, leaving it dead in the water. As a result, the game has been abandoned, but some of its major features are being pumped into PUBG.

PUBG's Taego map update might add self-pickup and other features

brief teaser has been released showing the "exclusive features" coming to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with the release of its new map, Taego. It's only seconds long, but there's enough to suggest several additions—most notably a player is shown on their knees using a medkit, which has been interpreted as a self-pickup ability for downed players...

Self-pickup, new guns, and Pony Coupe coming in PUBG's Taego update

The new PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds map is coming next month and a new trailer has been released to tease upcoming features being added in the next update to the still-popular battle royale game. Fans have dug through the PUBG Taego map trailer and have spotted new guns, vehicles, and a possible self-pickup ability.

As developer Krafton revealed last week, the new Taego map is headed to the game in the 12.2 update - which is set to release in just a few weeks on July 7th on PC (July 15th on consoles). Like PUBG's original Miramar, Taego will be a massive 8x8 km map, but otherwise there hasn't been any firm facts about what players can expect from it - leaving fans to do the dirty work.

PUBG dataminer PlayerIGN has already indicated that there will be a new respawn system "where players fight for their revival" on a small Gulag island, but now they're back with a list of potential new features uncovered in the latest PUBG trailer.
