PUBG creator Krafton Inc. recently announced that it will be collaborating with Indian-American film producer Adi Shankar to expand the world of PUBG and bring it into the animation genre. The announcement comes several days after the announcement of the collaboration with South Korean actor Don Lee.
It seems quite impossible to end the popularity of PUBG even after the game was banned in several countries due to security threats or health issues. Player's Unknown Battlegrounds was developed by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean gaming company known as Krafton (formerly Bluehole) which also created Battlegrounds Mobile India, a region-specific battle royale game for Indians . Initially, PUBG was released in PC versions and later brought to Mobile and Consoles by Krafton. The mobile version of PUBG had crossed 1 billion downloads worldwide and currently there would be hardly any gaming enthusiast who did not play this game.
Krafton gave us another reason to keep the game's momentum alive by announcing the collaboration with Adi Shankar. Previously, Krafton collaborated with popular K-POP brand 'Blackpink' and American automotive company Tesla. With such diverse collaborations, Krafton is ensuring gamers are hooked on the game.
Adi Shankar is an Indian-American film producer best known for his work in the Netflix anime Castlevania. This anime has been widely watched by several people in different countries. He is also known for being the youngest producer to have a number one film at the North American box office. Apart from that, he works on different projects such as Assassin's Creed &the Devil May Cry.
The official PUBG Battlegrounds North America Twitter account has shared this exciting news for gamers.

Adi Shankar revealed his enthusiasm for the project in a statement-
"As a player, I've been crushing the competition in the Battlegrounds since PUBG released in 2017. I'm grateful to Krafton for the trust and confidence they've placed in me to execute my vision as a filmmaker and I 'm excited to begin on this journey together.“To me, this animated project represents another step in the evolution of mending the torched bridge between the games industry and Hollywood. I look forward to revealing to everybody what winning a chicken dinner looks like. ” 
Although the details of the animated project have not yet been shared by Krafton, it is safe to assume that we could see a movie or an anime adaptation of PUBG. This project will certainly be a boost for the popularity of the game which had seen a slight decline recently with the emergence of new battle royale games such as Free Fire and Valorous.
CH Kim, CEO of PUBG Corporation, also shared his views on collaborating with Shankar. He said –
“In addition to the continued development of new and engaging in-game PUBG content, our partnership with Adi Shankar represents a step into our broader strategy of expanding the PUBG Universe into a multimedia franchise. “We are excited to work with Shankar on exploring and realizing a world that brings the game to life for our fans. We look forward to sharing more about this animated project in the near future.”
PUBG has become more than just a game for gamers. The platform it provides to game lovers encourages them to pursue a career in the esports industry which has seen tremendous growth in recent times. If the world of PUBG has a vibrant life, fans of the game will be elated.
