Might nosotros come across a Hunger Games switch upward downward the line?
When teasing its latest monthly update final week, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds revealed a crossover betwixt its free-roaming opened upward basis shooter, as well as the similarly themed 2001 activity film Battle Royale was on the cards. The former's creator Brendan Greene has ever been opened upward almost his beloved for the latter, nevertheless it seems he as well as his Bluehole squad are opened upward to farther tie-ins downward the line.
"I ever wanted to lay inwards something into the game that was a tribute to the movie," Greene tells us. "I beloved that film as well as it's basically where I got started. We accept the pan inwards at that spot because there's a pan inwards the movie. It's been almost putting picayune tributes to the things that accept inspired me. Even inwards the game, the island's advert is named afterward my daughter, as well as nosotros accept a chip of graffiti—there's a guy called DevilWalker who got me my start DayZ modernistic server, his advert is inwards graffiti inwards the game. I similar having the powerfulness to create that, adding inwards the things that accept inspired me into the game to larn inwards a picayune chip to a greater extent than existent to me."
It's slow to immature lady the graffiti that's dotted but about PUBG's dilapidated buildings when you're beingness gunned down, chopped down, or, you lot know, chased amongst a frying pan. But Greene explains there's to a greater extent than to the artwork than but pretty words as well as pictures—that at that spot are fifty-fifty lines from Battle Royale scrawled inwards Japanese that the game's concept creative individual snuck into the game unbeknownst to Greene.
I propose to Greene that piece a Battle Royale tie-in sounds exciting, at that spot are other movies that explore similar themes such as, say, The Hunger Games. I inquire if farther crossovers are something he as well as his squad powerfulness consider downward the line.
"Oh sure, we're opened upward to anything," says Greene. "Going forwards nosotros accept a groovy platform to add together some materials into, to create some themed stuff, I mean value everything is possible. We're non tying ourselves to a item theme, whatsoever necktie inwards that you'd imagine would in all likelihood move possible."
