A Cozy Survival Sim, Now on Switch
Dinkum invites players to pioneer their own settlement on a rugged island teeming with unique wildlife and rich resources. From farming, fishing, and crafting to hunting, ranching, and exploration, players can build, customize, and shape their island life however they choose. The Nintendo Switch version features multiplayer co-op for up to four to collaborate and grow towns together.

A Proven Indie Success Story
After five years of development, Dinkum first launched in Steam Early Access in July 2022, reaching full 1.0 release in April 2025.

G-DRAGON x PUBG (Limited Time) 

G-DRAGON takes over the Battlegrounds with Emote Stages on select starting islands, letting squads perform to his tracks before the drop. Across Miramar, themed set pieces—like a decked-out Truck Stop, Gas Stations, and a Fan Room—bring the vibe to life (don’t miss the recreated “POWER” MV set). The collaboration continues in-match with branded planes, Blue Chip Towers, and care packages.

Miramar — Minas Generales, Streamlined 

Minas Generales has been reworked for cleaner layouts and faster looting, with refined building placements and new loot spots. Terrain and cover are tuned to balance high/low-ground fights, reducing dominant positions. Visual touch-ups and brighter interiors improve readability throughout the area.

New Interactions That Change the Fight 

Movable deathboxes let you drag loot to safer cover—or bait loot-hungry enemies. Pull Doors open inward as well as outward, unlocking new entry, exit, and baiting options. Destructible Gas Tanks (Miramar/Taego) explode into a lingering smoke cloud, giving you instant, on-the-fly cover.

And More in 37.2 

A new Survivor Pass rolls out with fresh rewards. Team Deathmatch and Intense Battle Royale receive targeted updates to maps and flow. Seasonal favorites Survivors Left Behind and Hungers Left Behind also return.

In Pizza Bandit, players become a time-traveling ex-mercenary, Malik, with an oddly specific dream–opening the galaxy’s greatest pizza joint. To fund that dream, players will travel across eras, take down dangerous targets, and cook under literal fire. From flipping dough in a warzone to serving up kills with style, every mission is a multitasking meltdown!
“We wanted to blend arcade-style combat with the absurd pressure of a cooking show in total crisis,” says Hugo Pak, Game Director at JofSoft. “It’s fast, ridiculous, and surprisingly strategic– just like trying to open a restaurant during an alien invasion!”
Early Access Features Include:

• 1–4 Player Online Co-op: Roll solo or team up with friends. Mission difficulty scales, but so does the chaos.
• Cooking Under Fire: Slice, assemble, and plate meals mid-battle while dodging bullets and managing enemy waves.
• Bounty Missions Through Time: Travel through chaotic timelines filled with distinct enemies, hazards, and bonus objectives.
• Fully Customizable Loadouts: Choose your weapons, cutlery, and character skills to suit every mission– and every mess.
• Pizzeria Customization: Spend your hard-earned bounty cash to deck out your dream restaurant with neon, décor, and appliances.
• Stylish Character Customization: Streetwear, glowing accessories, wild hair– dress like a culinary warlord.
• A New Voice Cast: The game’s voice-over was directed by industry veteran Chris Borders (VO Director for the Gears series).
• Intro Cinematics and Achievements: Discover Malik’s backstory through new cinematics and unlock in-game and Steam achievements.

Pizza Bandit launches into Early Access with a full core loop, online matchmaking, and a healthy dose of fire-based panic. The team at JofSoft plans to add new missions, enemies (including beefier armored variations and new monsters), recipes, cosmetics, and restaurant content throughout development, with player feedback helping shape the roadmap.

Pizza Bandit is available now on Steam Early Access with a 10% launch-week discount available for a limited time, ending September 5th, 2025.

KRAFTON, Inc. announced that it will participate as a partner in the Esports Nations Cup (ENC), organized by the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF).

ENC is the world’s first global multi-title national esports competition where top players represent their countries and regions. The inaugural event is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in November 2026. Global leading game publishers including KRAFTON, Electronic Arts, Tencent, and Ubisoft will join as partners of the competition. Each partner company will establish a national ranking system, qualification methods, and tournament formats that reflect the unique features of their games and the expectations of their fans, providing esports fans worldwide with the highest level of competitive environment.

National teams from key regions across the globe—including North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania—will compete in ENC. All participating players will receive guaranteed prize money, with an identical reward system applied across each title. The competition will be held every two years, providing a more stable foundation for players, coaches, and esports organizations to operate. It will also establish a system to support publishers, clubs, and partners in running long-term national team programs. The tournament is built on the operational expertise of the world’s largest multi-title esports competition, the Esports World Cup (EWC), and will introduce a new form of international esports competition through national representation.

“Nation versus nation competition is the ultimate expression of sport,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the EWCF. “The ENC makes this a reality for esports, giving every fan a flag to rally behind and every player the pride of representing their country. It’s a stage to create heroes, inspire the next generation, and, together with our partners and stakeholders, build the national ecosystems that will accelerate the growth of esports worldwide.”

Minho Yi, Head of PUBG Esports at KRAFTON, said, “It is highly meaningful for KRAFTON to participate as a partner in ENC, which will mark a new milestone in esports, together with our global partners. We will make every effort to ensure that our games and fans can experience new glory on this national stage.”

“PUBG: BLINDSPOT brings the strategic depth of gunplay into a top-down experience. Our goal is to deliver the excitement of tactical combat to players everywhere,” said Seungmyeong Yang, Production Director of PUBG: BLINDSPOT.

The game introduces mechanics such as Field of View (FoV) control, real-time vision sharing with teammates, and smooth, intuitive camera handling. A new demo build is now live on Steam, available to play through September 2.

INZOI — DEEPER LOOK AT FIRST FREE DLC ISLAND GETAWAY
During Media Day, KRAFTON also offered a deeper look at inZOI’s first downloadable content, Island Getaway. The DLC introduces Cahaya, a Southeast Asian-inspired resort destination designed to give players a lifestyle of self-sufficiency, leisure, and exploration far removed from the bustle of city life.

“With Cahaya, we wanted to give players a space for farming, relaxation, and discovery — a true escape,” said Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim, CEO of inZOI Studio and Director of inZOI. “Ongoing updates are just the beginning of our commitment to the community.”

Cahaya features farms, markets, resorts, and temples, allowing players to mix production, economic activity, and leisure in new ways. Available now on both Steam and Mac, Island Getaway expands accessibility for players around the globe.

Since its Early Access launch in March, inZOI has continued to evolve through frequent updates shaped by community feedback. At Media Day, KRAFTON highlighted plans to expand city-space usage, enhance player freedom, and deepen interactions with the lifelike “Zoi” characters.

KRAFTON AT GAMESCOM 2025
KRAFTON’s Media Day highlighted the company’s creative vision and development philosophy. From August 20–24, KRAFTON is welcoming fans to its booth in Hall 7 at Koelnmesse, featuring dedicated zones for inZOI and PUBG. Visitors can experience hands-on demos of inZOI, PUBG: BLINDSPOT, and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, along with a variety of interactive programs.

Players can access a wide array of customization options—including 14 exterior paint colors, 4 interior styles, 7 wheel types, and 7 brake caliper designs—alongside themed costume sets. Unique containers will spawn on the starting islands across Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Taego, Deston, and Rondo. Only players with BUGATTI vehicle skins can unlock these containers and drive the exclusive cars.

Each vehicle comes equipped with authentic BUGATTI features, including distinct engine and backfire sounds. The Chiron (Édition Spéciale) offers an even more immersive experience, featuring an active rear wing and custom boost sound effects.

The UGC Alpha system, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ creative mode platform, has officially expanded, allowing more players to dive into custom game creation. Available exclusively on PC, UGC Alpha lets players design custom rules, logic, and objects, enabling a wide range of experimental gameplay beyond traditional battle royale.

The platform is now open through the October update. Players with PUBG Plus accounts can host and create custom sessions, while all players can join and experience various sample modes already in rotation.

The retro-inspired mini-game POBG makes its return for a limited time, this time featuring a new pixel-art map: Paramo. Originally launched as an April Fools’ event in 2021, POBG lets players face off against waves of chicken bosses in fast-paced, lighthearted action.

Beloved for its arcade-style visuals and casual gameplay tone, POBG remains a favorite among fans seeking a break from standard battleground intensity.

Update 37.1 also introduces a range of gameplay enhancements, including:

• A new ranked season
• An updated Survivor Pass
• Balance adjustments for designated marksman rifles (DMRs)
• Removal of canted sights
• Destructible props and vending machines on select maps
