Comment of the game producer

Brendan Greene(PLAYERUNKNOWN)
Creative Director - PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS

We feel very honored and pleased to receive such a prestigious award. We would like to thank and appreciate the many Japanese players who enjoy playing PUBG.

We gained the inspiration for the game mode which is the base of PUBG from a Japanese gentleman. That was Mr. Koushun Takami and his wonderful novel "Battle Royale." So, it is a great pleasure for many people in Japan to have an attachment to PUBG.

We have been developing PUBG for about two years now, but we are not planning to reduce the speed. We'd like to show you the new content, system updates, and new features that will be out next year as soon as possible.

Thank you again to everyone in Japan for all your support.
