Krafton studio has announced that PUBG New State is now available on pre-registration for users on Android’s Google Play Store and Apple’s iOS App Store. The new game was first launched globally in the month of February this year but Krafton decided to set aside the official launch in India for a much later date as the brand was trying to iron out problems with the launch of another version of PUBG, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).

How to pre-register for PUBG: New State
Interested players can go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search for PUBG: New State to pre-register for the game. This will notify them when the game is launched. The game will also auto-install on devices connected with Wi-Fi once users have pre-registered.
A different title from the vanilla PUBG Mobile game, New State brings a new environment to the game, with a more urban setting. The new map, Troi, will also bring new weapons and vehicles which are different compared to the buggy and cars we know from PUBG Mobile.
As per PUBG: New State‘s Apple App Store listing, the mobile game is set in the future (2051, to be precise), which essentially succeeds the PUBG or BGMI‘s current timeline. The game takes place on a new map called Troi and promises to bring futuristic weapons and vehicles like drones, deployable combat shields, and more. Based on images of PUBG: New State, the game looks similar to Call of Duty Warzone – another battle royale game preferred by PC and console gamers. The futuristic vibe; however, is akin to Call of Duty Black Ops 3 or Black Ops 4. The new game is set to dive deeper into the lore of the overall PUBG Universe. PUBG: New State further promises to change the formula for PUBG games, as it will bring in-game weapon customizations that will allow players to modify their weapons within a match, something similar to Apex Legends’ weapon attachments. Weapons customizations are also available on Call of Duty: Warzone.

In a press note, PUBG: New State Executive Producer Minkyu Park said that the team at PUBG Studios is doing its “best to offer a battle royale experience” based on the stable service for Indian fans. The company reiterates its commitment to enhancing the Indian gaming, esports, and IT entertainment industries with the establishment of its Indian office. Krafton claims it has invested $70 million in the Indian IT sector and in gaming companies like Nodwin, game streaming platform Loco, and leading India web novel platform Pratilipi.
