Krafton has ended development on PUBG: Black Budget, an extraction shooter that had been in testing and was never released.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Krafton has canceled PUBG: Black Budget, a PUBG spin-off that was first mentioned in 2023 and later got a Steam page and teaser trailer. The game never made it to launch.
The project was planned as a first-person PvPvE extraction shooter. It would have sent players into an abandoned research facility on an island caught in a time loop, with secret technology to recover and base-building between matches.
In a Steam update, Krafton said it decided the game’s current direction would not support a long-term experience players could enjoy. The company thanked everyone who took part in the closed alpha tests and shared feedback.
The cancellation comes as the extraction shooter space has become more crowded. Krafton also recently canceled PUBG: Blindspot after a short Early Access run.
