PUBG’s universe is expanding once again with PUBG: Black Budget, an upcoming extraction-based shooter developed by Krafton. This highly anticipated title is set to bring a fresh PvPvE (player versus player versus environment) experience, blending tactical combat with high-stakes survival elements.
A New Take on the PUBG Universe
Unlike the traditional battle royale format, Black Budget is expected to feature an open-world setting with both urban and underground environments. Based on leaks, the game will take place on a 2.5×2.5 km map, offering dynamic gameplay elements such as a shrinking zone, AI-controlled enemies, and even a final boss battle in an underground location.
Customization is also rumored to be a major focus, allowing players to modify weapons and gear to suit different combat scenarios. Whether you’re taking on enemy squads, navigating hostile NPC encounters, or strategizing your extraction, Black Budget is shaping up to be a more immersive and intense experience than anything PUBG has offered before.
