PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is not only extremely successful and sought after as a game. In the anime series “Gamers!”, scenes clearly depicting PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds appeared in the last episode. So will there be more PUBG content in the anime soon?
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds by Bluehole Studios is an extremely successful battle royale online shooter, where up to 100 players kill each other until only one remains, either alone or in teams. The battle royale game concept is clearly inspired by works like “The Hunger Games” or the Japanese classic “Battle Royale”.
Curiously, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has now inspired an anime series.

The anime series Gamers! revolves around a bunch of video game nerds at a Japanese high school.
Alongside the usual relationship dramas typical of the high school romance anime genre, the games played by the characters play an important role. After all, Gamers! is about gaming nerds.
Therefore, a brief scene appeared in the intro of the recently released second episode of Gamers! that clearly depicts a situation from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
One of the characters appears in the typical interface of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and does what you do in this game: eliminate other players. Although the name of the game is not mentioned, the typical interface and equipment look like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
