More details on Extraction shooter from PUBG: Black Budget surface

Krafton during its earnings calls last month revealed plans to further expand its PUBG IP with more games and announced four titles they are currently working on. One of them was PUBG: Black Budget, an extraction shooter game that is based on the same universe. A month after the announcement, more details regarding the game have surfaced.

The genre of the game was already revealed by Krafton as an extraction shooter, which is getting a lot of attention, similar to how Battle Royale kicked off. This is a genre that many gaming companies are trying to figure out but haven’t seen much success. If PUBG: Black Budget manages to bring a fun gameplay loop, it will see a lot of players.

More details about PUBG: Black Budget leaked

The development for the game is going well but what can players expect? We know it features the iconic gunplay from the PUBG franchise. This means gamers may not have to start from zero to gain skills. Being an extraction shooter also adds PvPvE elements and will pit players against NPCs and other real payers, as per a post from Li_ovovo on X (Twitter).

For the gameplay itself, Black Budget reportedly retains the classic Battle Royale formula mixed with an extraction shooter. There will be shrinking zones, which will likely force players to choose their extraction zones based on where the zone shrinks. This adds a clever layer to the game, making it harder to survive the longer someone holds off extraction.
