Krafton has finally confirmed that its new game PUBG Black Budget will have an Open Beta test before 2025 ends. The announcement was made in the company’s Q1 2025 earnings update shared on YouTube. This new title brings a fresh twist to the PUBG world, and fans are already getting excited.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what’s coming, what to expect, and why this could be a big moment for PUBG players.
PUBG Black Budget: Beta Coming Soon
Black Budget is not your usual battle royale. It’s an extraction shooter, which means players will fight against each other (PvP) and also face computer-controlled enemies (PvE). On top of that, it’s an open-world game set in the PUBG universe.
This is a big move for Krafton, who says they want to explore different styles of games. The team is still working on Black Budget and running many tests to make sure it’s fun, smooth, and full of action.
If all goes as planned, players should get a chance to try the game in beta mode before the year ends.
More Games Coming from Krafton
Black Budget is not the only game Krafton is working on. They also talked about:
- Project Valor – a brand-new console battle royale game.
- Project Blindspot – a top-down tactical shooter, which could appeal to fans of strategy and quick moves.
Krafton is clearly aiming to grow their game lineup and attract new types of players, not just PUBG fans.
PUBG 2.0 Is Also in Progress
Along with Black Budget, Krafton is working on something huge for the original PUBG game. It’s called PUBG 2.0, and it will bring:
- New game modes
- Content updates
- Graphics upgrade with Unreal Engine 5
The upgrade will bring a fresh look and feel to the classic game, which has already been going strong since 2018. After nine years, Krafton is showing that PUBG is still important to them and to millions of players around the world.
Why Black Budget Matters for PUBG Fans
Black Budget is more than just another shooter. It’s a chance to explore the PUBG world in a new way. You’ll need strategy, teamwork, and quick decisions. It’s not just about surviving it’s about making it out alive with the rewards.
Plus, if you’ve been playing PUBG for years, this game could feel like a natural next step with more depth and new challenges.
