Krafton has canceled "PUBG: Black Budget," an extraction shooter that had been in development for several years. The project was first revealed in a November 2023 investor presentation before eventually receiving a Steam page and teaser trailer.
The game was planned as a first-person PvPvE experience that combined military combat with supernatural elements. Players would have entered an abandoned research facility on an island trapped in a time loop, searching for secret technology while dealing with other players and AI-controlled threats.
