In celebration of the imminent launch, a trailer was released on the official PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds YouTube channel. Although billed as a trailer, the video plays more like a short film, with Vogt-Roberts' big screen sensibilities shining through. The video stars Nick Robinson and Jason Mitchell, who previously worked with Vogt-Roberts on Kings of Summer and Kong: Skull Island , respectively.

Nothing about the Special Projects division is really known at this point beyond the philosophy that's at play behind its creation. Greene has indicated that the division is meant to explore future possibilities within gaming that don't really exist currently, stating that the division would focus on creating new technologies and gameplay. Greene has also suggested that he already has a number of ideas for what these focuses should be, and that the creation of the division is to take one of the progenitor's of the battle royale genre's ideas and to make them reality. With PUBG 's popularity waning, now seems like a good time for Greene to step back and try something new outside of that sph

Greene isn't speaking just about himself either; he wants to instill this same philosophy into his new studio, the PUBG Special Projects team.

That's not to say, however, that the games selected by the Review Committee have been banned over a meme. For the most part, the games banned seem to come down to blood and gore, vulgar content, overly revealing female characters, and inharmonious chatter. The latter is defined as a "perceived lack of effort to combat toxicity , vulgarity, and politically sensitive speech" in ch
