KRAFTON’s Project Arc is called PUBG: Blindspot, the South Korean publisher and developer has announced. PUBG: Blindspot is a top-down tactical shooter in which teams of five players face off against each other.
Although a release date for the PC game has not been revealed yet, anyone interested in the title will have a chance to try out a demo that will be launched on February 21, 2025, ahead of Steam Next Fest. The developers want to use feedback and data gathered from the demo to go into the next round of finetuning and balancing.

Blindspot is described as a game that delivers “fast-paced, strategy-driven combat with intense firefights and realistic gunplay.” Its unique selling point is the fusion of intense shooting and the strategic depth provided by its perspective.
KRAFTON said that it chose the title Blindspot to “reflect both the development philosophy and core gameplay elements” with a special focus on the “vision-based tactical play.”
The game is currently in development at PUBG Studios, the team behind popular battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds. For KRAFTON, this is not the only iron in the fire at the moment. The publisher has teams working on a follow-up to Subnautica and wants to take on The Sims with its own life sim game, InZOI.
