As Krafton and the named insider confirm, it really is a stand-alone game, not just a PUBG mode, which makes Project Cowboy all the more interesting. In addition, we could see the release relatively soon, because the developers themselves admit that they have waited too long and want to react before the players look elsewhere. For this purpose, Krafton is looking for new employees – namely graphics and programmers – who in the description of published advertisements will find not only the mentioned working title of the new game, but also a mention of the release on PC and consoles, respectively. anchoring the title into the genre of open-world shooters. “We are a team that is constantly striving for another shift in graphics and technology. We work to achieve a more advanced visual experience to meet the expectations of our fans, “says Kraton directly. However, it is difficult to estimate how much Cowboy will differ from the design and operation of PUBG and how much the new game can only be described as reskinu.
It is worth noting, however, that this is not the only spinoff coming from the world of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds. The horror film The Callisto Protocol, which is being worked on by the authors of Dead Space under the direction of designer Glen Schofield from Striking Distance, and the continuation of the mobile PUBG with the subtitle New State, are in development. In addition, PUBG Corporation has a separate office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, led by the father of the original PUBG idea (but also H1Z1 and before that DayZ) Brendan Greene, where other ideas are to emerge on how to use the world of battle royal hit or how to involve new ones. Tales.
