'I'm pretty confident this isn't going to be in this year's Battlefield update' — PUBG: Dednet director Dave Curd explains how the '90s-inspired multiplayer shooter stands out with its zany abilities and unique style
I spoke to PUBG: Dednet director Dave Curd at Gamescom, who explained how the team is leaning into to the weird and wonderful with character abilities to make its vibrant and violent '90s-inspired shooter stand out.
Krafton unveiled PUBG: Dednet at Gamescom this year, introducing an 90s-inspired multiplayer shooter with quirky abilities. Game director Dave Curd explained that the team is "finding our own way here," emphasizing the game's unique tone and style in contrast to the realistic battle royale genre. Players can slither like snakes, wield swords as hands, or even drive a toy car, as demonstrated in the debut trailer.
Curd believes that the key to success is to give players something fresh and exciting, standing out with zany, over-the-top visuals and a punk-inspired vibe. The game features roguelike elements and allows players to choose from various character abilities, ranging from support roles to stealth tactics. Curd joked that PUBG: Dednet is unlikely to be included in this year's Battlefield update, highlighting the team's focus on creating something distinctive and engaging.
