PUBG: BLINDSPOT, a free-to-play team shooter where two teams of five players battle it out from a top-down perspective, will be available on PC through Steam in Early Access starting February 5th. This was announced by publisher KRAFTON and developer PUBG Studios.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

PUBG: BLINDSPOT is a team-based shooting game where two teams of five players compete against each other from a top-down perspective.

Fast-Paced Military Gun Action

PUBG: BLINDSPOT offers a quick and realistic shooting experience, taking inspiration from the popular game PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.

Different weapons – like assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, pistols, and grenade launchers – all handle and perform uniquely.

Experience skill-based, thrilling and realistic gunfights in a top-down shooter like never before.

Combat Centered Around the Crypt

Okay, so you know those classic bomb defusal missions from a bunch of games? Well, PUBG: BLINDSPOT lets you play them from a top-down perspective. It’s a pretty cool twist on a familiar idea!

Your team needs to get inside the building and reach a secret Crypt. To do this, you’ll install a Decrypter. You can blast your way through walls and enemy defenses using grenade launchers and explosive hammers, or try to surprise and defeat the enemy.

Sometimes, I get to play defense, and it’s awesome! My job is to stop the other team from getting to the Crypt and setting up their Decrypter. I do that by locking doors and building barricades to block their way – basically, making it as hard as possible for them to get through!

Once the Decrypter is turned on, the crypt will flash from blue to red, indicating it’s been successfully hacked. The crypt is what controls the Blue Chip, so a compromise could cause problems. What are the potential consequences if someone gains control of it?

Deep CQB Cooperative Tactics

Today’s close-range gun battles focus on quickly breaking the enemy’s vision, getting a clear view of your surroundings, and striking before they can react.

PUBG: BLINDSPOT lets you and your teammates share what you see in real-time, making teamwork instant and intuitive. This creates quick, intense close-quarters combat against other players.

Unique Characters and Specialized Gadgets

The characters in PUBG: BLINDSPOT each have their preferred weapons and distinctive gadgets.

The game features weapons you’ll likely recognize, including the Mk14, AWM, and P90, alongside new and interesting gadgets. Expect to find things like Blue Zone grenades, recon drones, grenade launchers, and proximity mines. Classic throwables, such as flashbangs and smoke grenades, are also included.
