The tweet adds that there was also a meeting to create ‘PUBG 2’ on the Unreal Engine 5 as well as another Krafton game ‘X1’.

At the moment, it cannot be confirmed whether the upcoming unnamed project will, in fact, be PUBG 2 or a completely new game altogether.

Unreal Engine 5 creators Epic Games have also already announced that PUBG’s rival ‘Fortnite’ will be getting an updated version created on the new gaming engine.
