PUBG developer unveils new tactical shooter as PUBG: Blindspot

PUBG Blindspot launching soon

PUBG: Blindspot, previously known as Project ARC, is the latest addition to the PUBG universe. Unlike the original PUBG, which is a large, open-world game, the PUBG: Blindspot will be a 5V5 tactical shooter. In this article, we will get into the depth of this new game.

PUBG Blindspot: Overview

The confirmation of PUBG Blindspot comes directly from the developer’s official Discord Community. The main idea of PUBG Blindspot is that there will be a small team of 5 players each and the focus will be on strategy, teamwork, and shooting in tight, indoor spaces.

The game will be played from a top-down perspective, meaning you’ll view the action from above. Players will need to think carefully and be aware, so it won’t be easy to see everything around them. This makes the game more about tactical planning and team coordination rather than just running around and shooting.

Connections to the original PUBG

Although PUBG: Blindspot is a shift from the battle royale style of the original game, it retains some nods to its roots. One example is the inclusion of a character named Apex, alongside the iconic phrase, “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.” So while it’s a different style of game, it’s still part of the PUBG universe.

Testing and release date

The game has already been tested by some players in a closed beta, which is a small preview of the game to gather feedback before its official release, and it seems to be in a fairly complete stage. While the release date has not been confirmed yet, PUBG: Blindspot is expected to launch sometime between 2025 and 2026.

One more thing: because PUBG has a feature that prevents players from cheating, they might limit who can play the game, especially on devices like the Steam Deck, which is a handheld gaming device. In the past, PUBG had problems with players using cheats on certain devices, so they may restrict which platforms can play this new game.
