Dubbed a progression-based system with unlockables, a second Steam announcement revealed that PUBG 's event pass will also launch on June 22.

With Sanhok's smaller scale, matches are expected to be quicker and a dynamic weather system promises to cause trouble as PUBG whittles its 100 players down to one lucky winner. Sanhok has already been live on the test servers through four testing periods, but the time has come for its general release as developers promise yet more changes to what the test gamers have already s
It's quite likely that these promotional tactics are one of the issues that Bluehole has against Fortnite as several other battle royale games in the vein of PlayerUnknown's Battleground have been released without any legal ramifications.

This is hardly the first time tensions have been raised between the two companies over Fortnite's battle-royal mode. When the new mode became available last year, vice-president of PUBG Corp. parent company Bluehole Chang Han Kim expressed concern over the new game mode copying PUBG , saying "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is kno
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ creator Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown never expected the Battle Royale shooter to become such a huge hit for his team at Bluehole, but with success comes pressure. PlayerUnknown recently spoke out bout the side-effects of creating such a popular game.
