Developer PUBG Corporation, the team responsible for the battle royale PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, has merged with a subsidiary of the PUBG brand to form a brand-new studio.

Called PUBG Studio, the team is composed of the PUBG Corporation and Krafton Inc. subsidiaries. The studio will now focus exclusively on the development of its main properties, particularly PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and its mobile counterpart, PUBG Mobile. PUBG Studio is also in charge of expanding the PUBG property in various fields, including esports.

In addition to the main merger, Krafton Inc. announced that two other subsidiaries, Delusion Studio (Castle Burn) and PNIX Inc. (Archery King, Bowling King), have consolidated into the new mobile game studio RisingWings Inc. Though RisingWings' focus is centered on casual and mobile titles, the studio will also provide global support for existing games such as Golf King: Wolf Tour and MiniGolf King while working on other projects set to release in early 2021.
