The Next Game from the Creators of The Ascent Officially Unveiled at The Game Awards 2025
KRAFTON, Inc., the publisher of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, today revealed NO LAW, a first-person open-world shooter RPG set in the gritty cyber-noire city of Port Desire. The game is being developed by Neon Giant, the Swedish studio behind The Ascent, and made its world premiere during The Game Awards 2025. NO LAW is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

In NO LAW, players step into the boots of Grey Harker, an ex-military veteran who left his war-torn past behind for a quiet life tending his plants until trouble finds him again. When his peace is violently shattered, Harker must rely on his black-ops instincts and custom hardware to take back what was stolen and confront the city that wronged him.

Set against the backdrop of Port Desire, a sprawling port carved into the cliffs of a restless sea, NO LAW invites players into a world built on neon sleaze instead of regulation. The city is a hub of import and excess, overflowing with colorful characters whose motives are as murky as the smog-filled skyline. From the rooftop gardens to the alleys below, every inch of Port Desire is alive, reactive, and waiting to be shaped by the player’s choices.

Every decision carries weight. Help a friend in need or silence an enemy permanently; take the tactical route through the shadows or unleash chaos in open combat. Even in a city of no laws, actions still have consequences. Each playthrough reveals new possibilities, allies, and outcomes, making NO LAW an immersive shooter defined as much by its story and morality as its firepower.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, NO LAW blends visceral first-person combat with deep player agency. Whether you favor precision, stealth, or destruction, your approach defines the experience. Master advanced military upgrades, experiment with sci-fi tools and vertical movement, and turn every mission into a personal story of revenge, consequence, and survival.

NO LAW represents the next step for us as a studio,” said Claës af Burén, Managing Director at Neon Giant. “With The Ascent, we built a strong foundation for how we approach worldbuilding, systems, and storytelling. This new project takes everything we’ve learned and applies it to a completely different kind of experience — one that’s bigger, more reactive, and more personal than anything we’ve done before.”

Following the success of The AscentNO LAW marks a new creative chapter for Neon Giant under KRAFTON’s growing portfolio of global studios. The game continues KRAFTON’s vision of supporting distinctive, high-quality experiences that push the boundaries of gameplay, technology, and worldbuilding.

Watch the official NO LAW – Reveal Trailer from The Game Awards 2025, captured entirely in-game, for a first look at the game. Be sure to Wishlist the game on Steam and follow NO LAW on social media for the latest updates and announcements: YouTube | Discord | TikTok | Instagram | X | Facebook.

Since its founding in 2022, KRAFTON AI has focused its research and development across five core areas – Language Models, Multi-modal Learning[2], Reinforcement Learning, Generative AI, and Data-centric AI – to enhance the core fun of gaming and improve the efficiency of game development. This year, KRAFTON AI published 15 papers across the world’s top three AI conferences: NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, demonstrating its global research competitiveness.

 

Over the past three years, the first to third batch of the KRAFTON AI Fellowship Program has produced a total of nine papers, six of which have been published at ICML and ICLR.

New freezing Blue Zone effect, major environmental changes, and expanded UGC Alpha tools headline the latest update

KRAFTON, Inc. today announced the release of Update 39.1 for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, transforming Erangel into a frozen battleground with the arrival of “Erangel: Subzero.” The update introduces large-scale environmental changes, the expanded return of UGC Alpha, and several weapon balance adjustments alongside new season updates.

Crashed satellites, updated aircraft visuals, and reworked environmental elements further immerse players in the frozen landscape.

New tactical options include the BZ Grenade and BZ Grenade Launcher, allowing players to trigger localized freezing effects within the Blue Zone. The Subzero state will continue evolving into Update 39.2, pushing Erangel into even harsher conditions.

UGC Alpha Expansion
UGC Alpha, PUBG’s user-generated content platform, returns as a permanent service with new tools and expanded creative options. Players can now access additional buildings, destructible objects, and new functional devices including smoke, lighting, and AI spawn tools. Equipment options have also been broadened to include items such as the Ghillie Suit, EMT Gear, Tactical Pack, and Self-AED. The update provides creators with more flexibility and enables players to explore an expanded library of sample content.

Weapon Balance Updates

Update 39.1 introduces a new round of weapon adjustments:

  • Reduced recoil: M416, SKS, SLR
  • Increased recoil: AUG, VSS
  • VSS firing sound volume increased to improve enemy detection during combat

Additional Content and System Updates
The update includes Care Package adjustments for Team Deathmatch (TDM), the addition of the Recall system to Intense Battle Royale (IBR), and the launch of a new Ranked Season and Survivor Pass.

A heartwarming single-player adventure from Dreamotion is now available on PC via Steam with a 20% launch discount and support for 15 languages

Dreamotion Inc., a creative studio under KRAFTON, Inc., today announced the global launch of its new single-player adventure game, My Little Puppy, available now on Steam with a 20% launch discount through November 18.

My Little Puppy is a narrative-driven adventure game where players step into the paws of Bong-gu, a Welsh Corgi living in Dog Heaven beyond the Rainbow Bridge. As Bong-gu sets out to greet his beloved dog dad who has just entered the afterlife, players experience a touching, storybook-like tale about love, parting, and reunion. Designed with intuitive controls and a gentle difficulty level, the game welcomes players of all ages and captures the warmth of a dog’s world through behaviors such as sniffing, barking, running, and jumping.

Key Features: 

  • Stylized Art and Emotional Storytelling: Inspired by the saying, “When you depart from this world, the dog who went ahead will warmly welcome you,” players guide Bong-gu through beautifully crafted landscapes, including deserts, snowy mountains, and serene beaches. Along the way, he meets dogs and people who have passed on but have yet to find peace.
  • A Blend of Gameplay Genres: While My Little Puppy is rooted in platforming and puzzle-solving, it also incorporates racing, action, rhythm, and even a surprise mini fighting game, creating a dynamic and diverse gameplay experience.
  • Global Release and Launch Discount: Available in 15 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, and more, with a 20% launch discount on Steam until November 18.

Following the release of its demo earlier this year, My Little Puppy received widespread praise for its touching theme of reunion and its unique perspective that allows players to experience the world through a dog’s eyes.

Junyoung Lee, CEO of Dreamotion, shared, “Bong-gu, the main character of My Little Puppy, was actually an abandoned Welsh Corgi I adopted. After three wonderful years together, he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This game was born from my wish to comfort and connect with those who, like me, carry love and memories of their dogs—and to share the message that we will meet again someday.”
