The studio will be focused on creating a “narrative” experience in the PUBG universe.

Big new! I’m proud and honored to announce that I am now part of PUBG Corporation. Working together, we are building a AAA game studio called Striking Distance in San Ramon, CA.

Both of the Sledgehammer Games studio heads left Activision in 2018 as the company made changes to the studio following the launch of Call of Duty: WWII. Michael Condrey joined 2K to lead a new 2K Studio, and now Schofield has joined PUBG Corp.
