PUBG: New Stateisn’t just a mobile version of the originalPlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. That’s a point that PUBG Studio has gone out of its way to convey, but saying is different from seeing what it means. ManyPUBGfans aren’t sure what to expect, though there’s absolutely a lot of excitement for the game among battle royale fans. To help provide some insight into whatPUBG: New Stateis aiming to provide, a new trailer for the game was shared on social media.
Despite lasting only 48 seconds, thePUBG: New Statetrailercovers a lot of ground. The first 30 seconds are framed like a full match. The player drops in from a jet, just like a typical battle royale, and goes through a series of vehicle chases and gunfights before ultimately claiming victory. The final third of the trailer shows brief glimpses of cinematic action including explosions, drones, and more car chases.

While the cinematic trailer isn’t necessarily representative ofPUBG: New State’s final gameplay, it does give a look at some key aspects of the game. For example, there’s a clear focus on showing off both weapons and vehicles in the trailer. The AKM is shown close-up, for one, but other familiarPUBGgunsare also shown. The vehicles offer a mix of seemingly modern cars and near-future options.
The trailer also does a good job of showing off a lot ofPUBG: New State’s map, Troi. It’s not anything particularly surprising, asPUBG: New Stateis still surprisingly grounded despite havingrobotic appendages and futuristic vehicles. Still, environments range from trailer parks to fields of wind turbines. There’s also a hint of the game’s destruction system, which allows some environmental elements to be destroyed with gunfire.
