PUBG: New State, a new battle royale game from KRAFTON, will be available on Android and iOS from November 11th. KRAFTON, the creator of the title that launched the BR genre, PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG), will be conducting a “final test” on October 28-29 in 28 countries following which it will release the game in over 200 countries.

In addition to the PUBG: New State release date, KRAFTON also revealed the “pipeline” of its upcoming content, global service support, and the anti-cheat measures. Like its predecessor, PUBG: New State will follow the popular free-to-play model and will be available in 17 different languages. Tencent developed the mobile version of the original PUBG, but KRAFTON has developed New State and took everything in-house after having developed the PC and console versions of the original game.
PUBG: New State will be a big departure from the original, beloved PUBG. It takes place in the future, set in 2051, so there should be several new gameplay mechanics not available in the current iteration of the game set in modern day. It will embrace the new generation as it will allow weapon customization, will have drones, and a “unique” player recruitment system. PUBG: New State will also come with four new maps, including a new “future-set Troi” map and the franchise’s staple, Erangel map.
KRAFTON says that PUBG: New State “uses state-of-the-art rendering technology and a gunplay system on par with what’s found in the PC version of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.” In addition, KRAFTON says that it will actively communicate with the fans and provide features and fixes to “deliver the best gameplay experience possible.” The company has also introduced a new anti-cheat strategy to create a safe and fair gameplay environment.
If you’re on Android, you can now head over to the Google Play Store page for PUBG: New State and “pre-register” so that you can download the game as soon as it is available. If you’re on iOS, there’s no way to pre-register. You’ll have to go to the App Store page for the game to download it.
