“Krafton will continue to produce games that will be enjoyed by players across the world. We’re committed to offering an expanded experience based on the belief that games will become the most powerful type of media,” CH Kim, Krafton CEO, wrote in a statement, as quoted by news agency IANS.
Krafton claimed that the game recreates PUBG: Battleground’s original Battle Royale experience, making it the most realistic battle royale game on mobile.

About PUBG: New State
PUBG: New State is set in the year 2051 and is not a sequel to the existing Battlegrounds Mobile India. The game is likely to set the stage for Krafton’s upcoming games based on Battle Royale.
Meanwhile, the game developer promises to offer a PC-like experience on a smartphone with PUBG: New State. So people who have played Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, the PC version of PUBG Mobile, will be able to witness a similar experience on their phones with the upcoming game.
PUBG: New State will undergo a final trial ahead of the launch as Krafton informed that there will be a final technical test in 28 countries between October 29 and October 30.
