KRAFTON, Inc., the parent company behind PUBG Corp. announced today that they are merging under its independent studio system. The company will now focus on development under the name ‘PUBG Studio’. This news comes after a previous announcement that PUBG Corporation’s publishing and support teams have been integrated into KRAFTON.
KRAFTON Directing Resources To The PUBG IP
The company will solely focus on development as PUBG Corp’s publishing and support teams have previously been integrated into KRAFTON. The studio will continue to seek ways to develop and expand the PUBG IP in various fields, including its esports and entertainment business, including bringing it back into countries where the game has been banned (like India). KRAFTON’s independent studio system will give its development teams more autonomy to build their own unique identities and develop a diverse roster of games.
