On February 5th, PUBG:Blindstot, a free-of-charge spin-off game, opened in Steam and was officially closed less than two months after it went online.
The issuer, Krafton, announced that the first experience would end on March 30, when PUBG:Blindspot would come down from Steam. Only 53 days have passed since the game first went online, a little longer than the most notorious online shooting game failure case this year, Highguard. ” Highguard ” was created by a senior developer of ” Apex Heroes ” , ” Titan Falls ” , who made an axle show at the TGA awards, officially on the line on 27 January and declared out only 37 days ago. The developer’s bulletin on Steam states: “Since the last update, the team has been exploring ways to improve the game experience and move the game forward. However, after careful consideration, we believe that it is no longer possible to provide the level of the game that we had originally envisaged by first experience on a sustainable basis.”
“We have always placed the player’s experience at the centre, and on the basis of this principle we have taken this decision, and PUBG:Blindspot will close on March 30th. This may not be the result the player wants, but PUBG:Blindspot is a bold attempt by the team to provide new possibilities for the exploration of a tactical shooting game from a downside perspective.” PUBG:Blindspot is not an open-ended world escape game, but a 5v5-overviewed tactical shooting game, built around a clever walk, close teamwork and shared vision, giving one a sense of vision of Rainbow VI: A siege. In order to succeed, close cooperation and smart career choices were needed. Each player has a unique role to play in the fighting, has a distinct position and can influence the dynamics of the fighting with his or her own strength.
The game has not been able to attract a large number of players since it went online. According to SteamDB, PubG:Blindspot, which also has a peak of 3,251 online players at the time of their first sale, has continued to decline since then, leaving more than 100 players. Given that the game is only online on the Steam platform, this number is not very optimistic.
According to the player’s feedback, PUBG:Blindspot has a slow hand and a boring game as compared to other over-the-counter and tactical shooting games. Artistic guidance and role design are also under-recognizing, and the correlation between the two, as a derivative of PUBG, has not been demonstrated effectively. In crowded lanes of multiple-shooting games, the new one needs real innovation and both fun. The failure of PUBG:Blindspot to do so appears to have been anticipated.
