No Sequel For PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Blue Zone Carnage To Increase

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is currently one of the hottest online, multiplayer shooting games in the market. As such, even though it is still in Early Access, some people are already asking if PUBG 2 is coming. According to the title’s creator, this is unlikely to happen. In the meantime, players can enjoy the increased likelihood of getting blown to pieces in the Blue Zone.

As Game Rant notes, Xbox One players are still waiting for PUBG to release on the platform later this year and the game itself still has not gotten out of Early Access on Steam. Even so, it is moving a ton of copies, surpassing 15 million at last count. As such, the creator of the game Brendan Greene could not escape the question of whether or not a sequel is coming, even if it’s five years from now.

According to Greene, if he got his way, this would not be the case. Instead, he simply wants to keep on working on PUBG, polishing it and providing players with more content to enjoy

“We’re building this game as a service. We’ll still have the box copy that you buy – that’s what you get for PUBG. We still want to polish and refine, and add more maps, add more assets, I could totally kind of refine the gameplay and optimize as we go forward,” Greene said.

In related news, it would seem that the Blue Zone in PUBG will start featuring increased damage soon, Tech Times reports. The zone is already widely feared by gamers due to how difficult it is to participate in, but it seems it was not deadly enough for the developers.

Apparently, there was the concern of players stocking up on a lot of healing items as a way to counteract the increased damage in the zone compared to the base game. This was simply not what the developers had in mind.
