PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds remains a massive success, captivating thousands of players daily. Therefore, Ubisoft aims to draw inspiration from the successful battle royale shooter in the future.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is still unstoppable. The fun battle royale shooter not only regularly achieves new top numbers of concurrent users. Bluehole’s online shooter also inspires other studios. Recently, this was Rockstar with the GTA 5 game mode “Dawn Raid”.
Meanwhile, publisher Ubisoft has also caught wind of the unbroken success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and plans corresponding products.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Inspiration for Future Ubisoft Add-ons
Therefore, Yves Guillemont, the CEO of Ubisoft, stated at the end of the first business quarter of 2017 that they do not perceive PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds as a threat. The in-house shooter giant Rainbow Six has not been affected by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and will continue to grow.
Rather, at Ubisoft, they see the success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds as a great opportunity to carve out their own piece of the battle royale pie. The game principle of “everyone against everyone and one survives” seems to be very well received. Therefore, Ubisoft plans to think about how such game modes could be integrated into future DLCs for Ubisoft games.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Battle Royale is a Recipe for Success
However, Guillemont did not mention any titles that may soon receive a battle royale mode. Nevertheless, it is curious to see the waves PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is making, to the extent that even large companies like Ubisoft are taking notice and want to replicate the game principle. So, for those who enjoy battle royale in as many forms as possible, there is likely a lot to look forward to in the coming months.
