PUBG's new spin-off game is 'faster, meaner, and more aggressive' with sword hands and 'a little bit of light cannibalism'

PUBG: DED.NET.

PUBG remains one of Steam's most-played games, which makes it all the more surprising that PUBG Studios and publisher Krafton haven't made more attempts to milk it over the years. PUBG: DED NET might be the biggest yank of the udder to date though, revealing an entirely new spin-off roguelite FPS set in the '90s. And if you didn't know the game was set in the '90s, you sure will after the game's trailer beats you over the head with period-accurate vibes.

Creative director Dave Curd helpfully informs me that the "DED" in DED NET stands for "dog eat dog," which makes the words emblazoned across one of the miniguns in the trailer make a whole lot more sense. I've sat down with Curd in the hours after the game's reveal at Gamescom's Opening Night Live, where he tells me a little bit more about what players can expect from DED NET.
