Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator behind PUBG _ , has officially left the battle royale genre behind in pursuit of a new direction and the potential of other, less-explored genres. The creative mind behind _PUBG recently left his position at the game's studio in favor of heading a new internal division called PUBG Corp's Special Projects divis

Patch 30 adds a good amount of additional updates, most notably the Deagle (a version of the powerful Desert Eagle handgun found in many games) and a set of pre-written text messages called Radio Messages. Players can select these from a radial menu to quickly communicate with teammates when they can’t use voice c

In addition to bringing parkour into PUBG , Patch 30 also introduces a new vehicle, the BRDM-2, which can travel through water, though at a greatly reduced speed. The BRDM-2 is an armored vehicle that can only be found by calling it in with a flare gun, and it replaces the UAZ that used to be called in the same way. It’s a much hardier vehicle than the UAZ, able to withstand twice the amount of damage and equipped with unbreakable wheels. That makes it an excellent transport vehicle, but to balance it out, players can’t fire weapons while onbo

PUBG has already struggled with monetization problems, frequently being accused of exploitative payment models that offer too little from a content-to-cost ratio. Most recently, PUBG came under fire for its event pass system , which required an inordinate amount of time from players to complete just to unlock the items they had paid for - the pass also cost $9.99 USD and was a time sensitive item. That, coupled with locked loot boxes on an already heavily criticized progression system, has seen the reputation of PUBG 's predatory microtransactions become even worse in recent mon

Nothing about the Special Projects division is really known at this point beyond the philosophy that's at play behind its creation. Greene has indicated that the division is meant to explore future possibilities within gaming that don't really exist currently, stating that the division would focus on creating new technologies and gameplay. Greene has also suggested that he already has a number of ideas for what these focuses should be, and that the creation of the division is to take one of the progenitor's of the battle royale genre's ideas and to make them reality. With PUBG 's popularity waning, now seems like a good time for Greene to step back and try something new outside of that sph

Earlier this month, PUBG Mobile was banned in several Indian districts, following concerns over its content and addictive nature. Rajkot police have been heavily enforcing the ban across the city, making ten arrests in the last two d

The Rajkot Special Operations Group (SOG) have been enforcing the law, but those breaking it are not hiding their crimes very well. Three youths were arrested near the police headquarters. SOG police inspector Rohit Raval stated, "This game is highly addictive and the accused were so engrossed in playing them that they could not even notice our team approaching them." He goes on to state that they had their mobile phones seized "for the purpose of the investigati

Overall, Patch 30 adds plenty of content to keep players interested. While it’s likely nothing that would sway new players to finally try the game out, it may be enough to bring back lapsed players who previously found the game’s relative lack of mobility annoying. It’s also interesting to see PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ presumably taking cues from newer Battle Royales , with the addition of Radio Messages that seem clearly inspired by _Apex Legends ’ widely praised pinging sys

Unfortunately, things don't seem to be getting any better in the land of PUBG , as Game Revolution reports the Joker skin will reportedly run players $20 while Harley Quinn is $25. That isn't even for dead-on representations of those two characters as they appear in Suicide Squad , either - the skins are costume sets, so they merely alter the player's model to look mostly like the character they've chosen. Needless to say, fans are disappointed by the high cost of the costume packs, which can be bought individually for equally unsettling prices. Fans who just want to purchase Joker's makeup, for instance, will still need to shell out $5, while Harley Quinn's bat is

The Fix pubg vehicles|https://Pubgfrontierzone.com/ campaign, which ended in November, was a step in the right direction as the developers sought to address the most concerning problems and performance issues in the game. But it looks like it could be a very difficult 2

Overall, it's a head-scratching decision from PUBG , especially as the game continues to lose huge swaths of its playerbase to Fortnite 's more popular battle royale offering. Some of the cost can probably be attributed to licensing expenses, but for a title in desperate need of some good PR, this is yet another move that's just going to drive players away. After making a public promise to fix the issues in PUBG earlier this year, the developer has appeared to do anything but, and it seems like things are beginning to spiral out of control for a game that used to be one of the biggest in the wo
