Lin is expected to give the brand a better understanding of the digital and gaming industry. He will also be helping CH Kim, the CEO of Krafton, as he plans to grow the company into a global competitive brand and wishes to aggressively invest in promising new start-ups.
It has also been reported that Krafton is working on PUBG Mobile India, a version that could replace the app that was banned by the Indian Government last September. However, Krafton has not yet made the formal announcement. The information was leaked when a popular PUBG Mobile content creator GodNixon aka ‘Luv Sharma’ had recently reported in a video that the Indian government has given approval to PUBG Mobile India.
The brand is also simultaneously working on a single-player survival horror game called The Callisto Protocol, by Striking Distance Studios. For more such articles, keep reading GutshotMagazine.com. Follow us on our social handles Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram.
