First announced on January 28th, WEBTOON and popular video game franchise PUBG are teaming up to release three new titles. Now, the PUBG Webtoon Comic Series titles are available to read.
According to the comic platform, the new PUBG WEBTOON series titles are The Retreats, Nights of Silence, and The 100. All of these are set in the PUBG universe.
PUBG (or Player Unknown Battlegrounds) is a popular battle royal video game. The game takes players into a large-scale battleground and forces them to fight until one is left standing. The PUBG WEBTOON comics are a mixture of thriller, horror, and action.
In light of the release, PUBG Universe VP and Head Zion Lee said,
Whether we are working on video, written or illustrated content, we’re always looking for the best in their respected industries. WEBTOON was a natural choice for partnership. Together we look forward to expanding our universe with new stories to tell and reaching a new audience through WEBTOON’s global platform.
