PUBG: New State’s second alpha test will be available to players in Asia and MENA on Aug. 27, Krafton confirmed in a blog post yesterday.
New State is set in the year 2051, years after the original version of the game. It takes place in the city of Troi, which is eight by eight kilometers in size (same as Erangel in PUBG). The game feels similar to PUBG Mobile but Krafton said it will be making the graphics more visually appealing. It also has a lot of additional features such as vehicles, weapon customization options, and more.
PUBG: New State is expected to release in September 2021, according to a report by TechM Korea. Krafton hasn’t officially announced a release date yet outside of saying it’s coming later this year.
