"Krafton Desperately Searches for Next PUBG, Currently Has 26 Games in Development, 12 Launching Soon, and a Few Prayers"

Krafton, the company behind the massively popular PUBG, is on a mission to find its next big hit, because let's face it, they can't live off battle royale fame forever. With a whopping 26 games in various stages of development, they're basically throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. Of these, 12 are slated for launch within the next two years, including Subnautica 2, Palworld Mobile, and No Law, because who doesn't love a good lawless gaming experience? The company is focusing on strengthening its creative leadership and upgrading its game development frameworks, which is just a fancy way of saying they're trying not to mess it up this time. Krafton is also still riding the PUBG wave, expanding its user-generated content and leveraging the game's core mechanics, because why fix what ain't broke, right? And, because it's 2026 and you can't be a cool kid without saying it, Krafton is "evaluating" how its tech can be applied to physical AI and robotics, which sounds like a great idea for a sci-fi movie, but we'll see how that plays out. With a disciplined approach to building long-term franchise IPs, Krafton is essentially playing a game of tech bingo, hoping to mark off the right squares and hit jackpot. Will they find their next PUBG? Only time (and a lot of gaming) will tell.
