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.
