'Rising Power' Krafton to Launch PUBG: New State on the 11th of Next Month

Only 50 Million Pre-Registrants... The Largest in Korean Game History

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Krafton, emerging as a new powerhouse threatening the 3N (NC, Nexon, Netmarble) in the gaming industry, will launch 'Battlegrounds (BG): New State' in the global market on the 11th of next month.

According to Krafton on the 22nd, 'BG: New State' will be released in 17 languages targeting over 200 countries worldwide.

BG: New State was developed with the goal of inheriting the gameplay of 'PUBG: Battlegrounds' while introducing next-generation mobile battle royale gameplay through unique content and technology.

Changhan Kim, CEO of Krafton, said, "BG: New State not only continues the main lineage of the PUBG IP but is also a game that can demonstrate global competitiveness on its own. Krafton believes that games will become the most powerful media and will lead the way in providing expanded experiences centered around gaming."

Interest in BG: New State is intense. According to Krafton, pre-registrations have surpassed 50 million, setting the highest record in Korean gaming history.

Krafton explained that regarding the criticized monetization structures faced by domestic game companies, BG: New State completely excludes 'pay-to-win' elements. Except for some pass products, free-to-play users can acquire all items.

Min-gyu Park, General PD, explained, "If PUBG: Battlegrounds opened the genre of battle royale games, BG: New State is a game that sets a new standard." He added, "It will be a work that offers the best play experience with graphic levels and physics effects technology never before experienced in existing mobile games."
