PUBG: New State is one of the most awaited mobile games. After a lengthy trial and pre-registration period, Krafton announced that PUBG: New State will be releasing on Android and iOS on November 11, 2021.
Just like other PUBG games, PUBG: New State is a battle royale game where 100 players will be parachuted into a futuristic city called Troi. This game will take place in the future, in the year 2051 to be exact.
Krafton and PUBG Studios say PUBG: New State will be one of the mobile games with the most realistic and up-to-date graphics. This game will use the latest technology to provide an experience equivalent to the PC version of PUBG.
A series of graphic technologies implemented by PUBG: New State include global illumination, auto-instance and auto-exposure. The gunplay system has also been redesigned thanks to the graphical improvements it brings.
Although the graphics are made more sophisticated, Krafton ensures that PUBG: New State can be played on mobile phones with low specifications. PUBG: New State will be playable on iPhone 6S and above or those using iOS 13 and above, and Android phones with a minimum of 2GB RAM and running Android 6.
The successor to PUBG Mobile will also bring a series of new gameplay features. Some of them are features for weapon customization, a drone shop, and a recruitment system to attract enemies into the squad.
At launch, PUBG: New State will come with four maps, including the new Troi map. The Erangel map which is already part of the PUBG universe will also be present, but with a more futuristic appearance.
Krafton and PUBG Studios stress that PUBG: New State will have a very strong anti-cheat system. To provide fair play for all gamers, Krafton will prohibit the use of unauthorized programs, emulators, keyboards and mice, and will actively detect hacks to prevent players from cheating.
PUBG games do have a pretty severe cheat and hack problem. A Motherboard report earlier this year found a group of cheat-makers raking in $70 million from selling PUBG Mobile cheats.
PUBG: New State will be available for free download via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The game will be available in over 200 countries and 17 languages at launch.
