Today, KRAFTON launches Intense Battle Royale, an extremely fast-paced and intense game mode for PUBG: Battleground LABS. In addition to the first day of service for LABS: Intense Battle Royale, PUBG has also prepared a light event, offering some Workshop gifts.
Intense Battle Royale is a fast-paced, mini-battle royale LABS mode that retains all of the conventional battle royale system’s core elements. This mode simplifies looting, long-distance travel, and the number of enemies, among other things, to reduce gameplay duration. With these factors reduced, players will be able to concentrate more on the late-game intensity of the typical battle royale and strive for the top spot among the other teams.
Intense Battle Royale will be available through the LABS banner in the lobby. It will regularly make its comeback through LABS even after its first service period has ended, as per the following schedule:
