Your character walks into a section of the complex with 99 corpses, and mutters softly: "winner winner chicken dinner"
Soooooooooo iam guessing that being part of PUBG corp if they wanna make a game then they simply HAD to make a game based in the PUBG universe regardless what type of game it was as to have the PUBG Brand move forward. Either way i hope the lore and story fit great into the universe and there's a great story to tell with great gameplay and characters..
Huh.
I guess it could be connected to the fact the PUBG players are all convicts and this takes place on a prison colony?

...but why? That'd be like saying Dead Space takes place in the same universe as Battlefield (hence Visceral making Hardline). What's added by doing this? other than the hope that PUBG players will play this survival horror game - that they probably have no interest in cause it's not PUBG.
I don't. Dead Space means EA would be involved and because of EA Dead Space 3 was butchered.
Yeah, this. It's just marketing. I trust Glen to make the spiritual Dead Space successor the world wants.
If that's what it takes for this game to exist, so be it. As someone who couldn't care less about PUBG, but absolutely adores Dead Space and sci-fi space horror, I'm very excited by the potential of this project.
I honestly don't know what to think about having a connected universe for everything. For Marvel/DC it kinda makes sense, and maybe films being part of the MCU means some casual fans watched films based on characters they're not interested in just so they can be clued into the larger scope of things...
But what in the FUCK is the PUBG universe? Literally what? Why does it need to be connected in any way, shape or form to PUBG? Do they genuinely expect this to gain some PUBG players over if they wouldn't otherwise care?

Oh so this is the game that was set in the PUBG universe? I guess "put it 300 years in the future" nicely gets around having to tie it in to the game and they can just put in a reference or two and be all "see, same universe!"
It'll be like FFVII and FFX-2.

we already got 3 games in that series, isn't that enough?
also, much less baggage and more freedom with a new ip
No, it's just a technicality most likely, but it's stupid in all honesty.
It's a Dead Space type single player horror game. That PUBG bullshit is just for advertising.
I will gladly eat crow if there's a way to prove it gets anyone not otherwise interested to purchase because of the universe ties
While I agree it this for this particular game, I hope the company's idea isn't to have every single game to come out of their studios to be tie-ins, that seems pretty limiting, creatively. For one title it's whatever, we'll definitely be able to ignore it just fine, but it can get lame really quickly.
Wait what? That's crazy.
I thought they were making a normal game based on PUGB but the leak was wrong.

I bet there will be at least one tweet or steam review shitting on the game because it doesn't tie into PUBG enough and they wanted more PUBG lore and tie-ins and they wanted that instead of scary space mutants.
