As a report earlier today revealed the game sold 4.7 million copies last year and is huge on mobile, particularly in China.

Since PUBG doesnt really have a plot theres no clue what kind of stories they may be (although were guessing not romantic comedies) but what has been announced is that the new studio is being headed up by Dead Space and Call Of Duty veteran Glen Schofield.

Schofield has been in the games industry since the early 90s but made his name as one of the co-creators of Dead Space at EA before becoming a co-founder of Sledgehammer Studios, where he worked on Modern Warfare 3, Advanced Warfare, and WWII.
