Glen Schofield, who worked on the development of three Call of Duty titles in the past, has been revealed as the brand new CEO of independent studio Striking Distance. The Co-Founder of Sledgehammer Games remained tight-lipped about the project during his announcement video, which was posted to the official PUBG Twitter account on June 26, but he has confirmed that it will be very different to the original. \u201cI\u2019m happy to announce that I\u2019ve just joined PUBG Corporation as CEO of a new independent games studio called Striking Distance,\u201d he said to kick off the video. \u201cWe\u2019re working together to build a studio from the ground up, so we can begin crafting an original narrative experience in the PUBG universe.\u201d Read More: Michael Condrey claims Activision are making Modern Warfare controversial for \u201cheadlines\u201d – Schofield went on to confirm that the title will move \u201cbeyond battle royale,\u201d bringing together new designs and concepts with his new team, based in San Ramon, California.

For those wondering if this would be a future sequel to PUBG, the former CoD developer confirmed that\u2019s not going to be the case in a follow-up tweet. The only thing I can say now is that I\u2019m not working on a sequel to PUBG, but an original narrative in the PUBG universe. \u2014 Glen A. Schofield (@GlenSchofield) June 26, 2019 There is no indication, as of the time of writing, about when fans could expect to see this game come to fruition, but based on the fact that the team is just starting out \u2013 and is still looking for new recruits, as seen on PUBG website \u2013 it\u2019s highly unlikely that the AAA project will be given a release date any time soon. The new Striking Distance is clearly optimistic about the opportunity, though, as many PUBG fans will be as well. Just like many others, we await further information about the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
