This lawsuit will likely have some important ramifications in the gaming scene beyond Korea. It will be interesting to see how the Korean court differentiates a game being clearly inspired by another and one that infringes upon copyright. Until then, both games will continue to be money-making machines for their respective compan

Either way, it's good to see updates regarding anti-cheating measures and justice in the form of a $5.1 million fine. PUBG Missions continues to expand with an AMC Walking Dead partnership , a new map , a new mode and a variety of other updates as it continues to dominate the gaming scene alongside competitor Fortni

Premium Event Pass buyers don't have it much easier, but their experience cap is much higher and their rewards much more exciting. Players will still have to complete between eight or nine out of ten challenges to reach level

This means that no one weapon will be better than the rest, instead, forcing gamers to pick based on their own personal preference or what sticky situation they find themselves in. While some of the more popular ARs will undoubtedly be knocked down a peg or two, it also means that other fan-favorite peashooters will get seriously jacked up in the firepower sta

All told, that's 7600 XP in total across 30 days, exactly enough for 19 level-ups -- from 1 to 20, each costing 400 XP. The funny thing is, it looks like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't running the Sanhok Event Pass for 30 days. It's running it for 29. The countdown launched citing 24 hours and 28 days remaining, which suggests that it may entirely impossible to reach level

The Korean company behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is taking Fortnite _ developer Epic Games to court. The Bluehole subsidiary PUBG filed a lawsuit in January claiming that Epic's free-to-play battle royale title is infringing on its copyright. While the _Fortnite developer is based in America, their Seoul-based Epic Games Korea branch has been named in the injunct

UPDATE: It looks like there's already enough XP in the free missions to get to level 20, but our lead gameplay designer says he wants to make some changes next week to give players a little more wiggle room (to make it slightly easier to get to level 20). Updates will come next week. In the meantime, just do those missio

PUBG Corp also recently provided some insight about its plans for the game's Savage map, saying "we have months of work left to do," but describing the map's defining feature: an underground cave system. Unfortunately, players will have to wait a little bit longer to see this map in action, as it won't be hitting the game in this upd

Developers rightfully urged players not to seek out cheating programs from dubious sources, as they could contain harmful software like this and compromise not only the game's integrity and security but that of the user's computer, compromising personal information like credit card numbers, banking information, passwords and emails. It's really not a hard thing to do, so readers, please always be wary of the things you download...and also don't cheat. That's

Both Bluehole and Epic Games had worked together in the past, but that relationship was damaged once the latter launched Fortnite 's battle royale mode back in September of last year. Shortly after the mode launched, Bluehole Vice President Chang Han Kim released a statement saying that the company was " concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known ." In the months since release, Epic Games' third-person shooter has surpassed PUBG in both player count and revenue, which has presumedly hurt relationships between the two companies further. Additionally, Epic Games has teamed up with Neowiz Games, not Bluehole, to bring Fortnite to the Korea market in the second quarter of 2

Now that the Sanhok Event Pass is available in-game, players are able to measure exactly how much they need to accomplish in order to progress in the Pass. All challenges, as well as other sources of experience, are available to see and draw conclusions from. And the results are quite disappointing, especially for those who don't want to spend the $9.99 Event Pass price up fr

The patch is among the game's biggest updates, bringing a weapon balance overhaul and map selection to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . The update also adds a new muscle car to Miramar, and a new 7.62 DMR called the SLR. The new vehicle is exclusive to the Miramar map and can be found in downtown areas and on main city stre

The Battle Pass feature is an increasingly popular alternative to other forms of DLC microtransactions for "Games as a Service" titles. It's not as expensive as splitting DLC up into individual pieces and is not as predatory as Loot Boxes, since there's no RNG. The trade-off is that Battle Passes require a lot of time investment to earn everything, and even then players might not level a Pass up high enough to get everything. For most players, however, that risk is more than worth the benef
