PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is undoubtedly one of the biggest releases of 2017, coming from nowhere in recent weeks to pass Dota 2 's concurrent Steam user record . Now, Brendan Greene, the man behind the title, has shared some of his biggest aspirations for the fut

For those that don’t know: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a third-person battle-royale, last-man-standing shooter from PLAYERUNKNOWN aka Brendan Green, a pioneer of the Battle Royale genre. As the creator of the Battle Royale game-mode found in the ARMA series and H1Z1: King of the Hill, Greene is co-developing the game with the aforementioned Bluehole. And apparently Green has struck gold.

Currently in the works at studio Automation in the United Kingdom, Project X includes a last-man standing player-versus-player “sport” mode that allows up to 400 players to compete at a time, which is where comparisons to the well-loved PUBG will undoubtedly be made. But the enigmatic game is much more than just one hoping to trump one of this year's biggest games. It actually offers up to 1,000 concurrent players to battle in a single world on a staggeringly large 12km by 12km

Speaking to fans on Reddit during an AMA, Greene stated that he'd be very interested in pursuing a single-player campaign for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in the future. “I think the island we have could be a great location for an interesting story,” said the develo

Playerunknown's Battleground is currently available as a part of Steam's Early Access program, and Https://pubgplayground.com/ has been since March 23rd, 2017. It's currently unknown (pardon the pun) when the title will be coming to the PlayStation 4, or any other console for that matter.

In the game, players start with nothing and must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. Described as a “realistic” and “high tension,” the game takes place on a large 8×8 km island built in Unreal Engine 4. It’s wildly intense at times, and has created some the best GIFs in video games since its launch.

A screenshot showed that the new gun will be the Mini-14, a semi-automatic rifle. It's unconfirmed whether or not the gun will be exclusive to care packages like some of the other weapons that have been brought into the ga

The details come via Game Informer who relay that the first map is an island on the Adriatic Sea, which was part of the Yugoslavian territories. It is described as having Mediterranean coasts on the south side, dense forests on the north side, and snowy mountains in the center. The island is 8x8km and will feature a variety of architect

“No, editing any game files to gain an unfair advantage is against the Rules of Conduct. This includes changing any game configuration files to result in changes that cannot be made via the in-game settings menu.”

Green shared another one of his loftier aspirations also. When asked about the potential for destructible environments to be added to the game, he said that he “would like to add more destruction,” but noted that it would take its toll on server performance, so that would have to be taken into acco

Meanwhile, the second map is a bit smaller: coming in at 4x4km. Located in a desert city, the map is described as war ravaged in the streets and buried by sandstorms. The south and east areas feature a canyon with a river running through it, which supports the small villages that remain after the city was destroyed. The north area of the map features hillside sl

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the Bluehole-developed and published multiplayer online Battle Royale title that has taken the gaming world by storm, might have some hefty competition in its midst. A mysterious game known as Project X aims to take what PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does well and elevate it to the next level, surpassing PUBG 's 100-player gameplay on an 8km by 8km map with 400-player battles on an even bigger

Those interested in learning more about Project X can tune into EGX this week, during which members of the creative team will make appearances on the “Breaking Rules and Making Worlds: The Future of the MMO” panel on Thursday, September

For the time being, though, there seems to be other priorities. Greene mentioned a few specifics, like a nighttime setting, something which fans have been requesting for quite a while. He teased that this is already being prototyped, and apparently players will be “surprised at how good it loo

Yesterday, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds reached a concurrent player count of over 1 million on Steam. It was not so long ago that the game had officially passed Dota 2 in concurrent players , the first non-Valve game to ever claim the title of most played game on the platf
