KRAFTON released update 18.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, changing the map appearance rates for Erangel, Miramar, and Taego to 40%, 30%, and 30%, respectively.
KRAFTON launched the Pick’em Challenge, a winner-prediction event for PUBG Nations Cup 2022. Thirty percent of special-item sales revenue was added to the prize pool for participating teams.
KRAFTON revealed a teaser image of virtual human ANA and began building a Web 3.0 ecosystem. The company uses realism, rigging, and deep learning technologies to create lifelike visuals.
Krafton plans to invest another $250 million in India over the next three to four years as it expands beyond gaming into AI, robotics, and deep tech. The commitment brings its planned India investment above $500 million and is separate from its commitment to a $670 million India-focused growth fund with Naver and Mirae Asset. Krafton has backed about 18 Indian companies, including Nodwin Gaming, Loco, Pratilipi, Kuku FM, and One Impression, while BGMI has surpassed 260 million downloads.
