KRAFTON has revealed ambitious plans for PUBG: Battlegrounds in 2027, with the popular battle royale preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The publisher is planning its biggest-ever content rollout for the game, featuring a major anniversary update, collaborations, and seasonal events throughout the year.
The announcement was made during KRAFTON's third-quarter 2026 earnings call on November 10. According to the company's CFO, Bae Dong-geun, March 2027 will be the centrepiece of the celebrations, with a large-scale update planned to mark the game's 10th anniversary. However, the celebrations will not be limited to March, as players can expect new content and collaborations almost every month.
Here is everything KRAFTON has revealed about PUBG's plans for 2027.
PUBG 10th Anniversary: Major Update Planned for March 2027
The biggest announcement is a large-scale content update scheduled for March 2027. The update will celebrate PUBG: Battlegrounds reaching its 10th anniversary, marking a decade since the game's original release in 2017.
KRAFTON has described its 2027 content plans as the largest in the game's history. While the publisher has not revealed specific details about the anniversary update, it has confirmed that substantial new content is being prepared for players.
More information about the update, including its potential gameplay additions and special rewards, is expected to be revealed closer to the anniversary.
Major Collaborations Planned Throughout 2027
Another major highlight of KRAFTON's plans is the introduction of regular collaborations throughout the anniversary year.
According to CFO Bae Dong-geun, the company is preparing major crossovers alongside smaller collaborations and seasonal events almost every month.
This means PUBG players can expect a continuous stream of themed content rather than a single anniversary celebration. However, KRAFTON has not confirmed which brands, celebrities, or entertainment franchises will feature in these collaborations.
Before the 2027 celebrations begin, the game is also receiving two major collaborations in the fourth quarter of 2026:
- Bentley Collaboration: PUBG is partnering with the luxury automobile manufacturer for special crossover content.
- IVE Collaboration: The popular K-pop girl group is receiving an in-game collaboration, expanding PUBG's entertainment and music partnerships.
These collaborations are expected to help maintain player engagement ahead of the 10th anniversary celebrations.
Seasonal Events to Continue Throughout 2027
Apart from major collaborations, KRAFTON is also preparing several seasonal events for PUBG: Battlegrounds.
The publisher wants to make 2027 a year-long celebration, with a combination of large and small seasonal activities introduced regularly.
Although specific events and their schedules have not been announced, players can expect additional opportunities to experience limited-time content throughout the year.
PUBG's Future: More User-Generated Content and Collaborations
KRAFTON is also looking to expand PUBG beyond its traditional battle royale experience by developing it into a broader content platform.
One of its major priorities is expanding user-generated content (UGC), allowing players to discover and enjoy more community-created experiences.
The company has already introduced UGC-related initiatives, including PUBG: Playgrounds, which allows players to explore community-created content.
KRAFTON plans to strengthen this ecosystem further while expanding collaborations with external intellectual properties. This approach could give players more ways to experience PUBG beyond its traditional gameplay.
Conclusion
KRAFTON's 2027 plans could make it one of the most significant years in PUBG: Battlegrounds' history. With a major anniversary update scheduled for March, almost monthly collaborations, and seasonal events throughout the year, the publisher is preparing an extensive content lineup to celebrate the game's 10th birthday.
Although specific details remain under wraps, players can expect more announcements as the anniversary approaches. With KRAFTON aiming to make 2027 a year-long celebration, PUBG fans have plenty to look forward to.
