PUBG Corp has launched a tie-in site to coincide with the ninth season of the battle royale, which officially launched off the test servers last week.PUBG Lore does a similar job to the fan wikis that curate the backstory of the game's characters, items, and events. It does a similar job, but differs significantly in that it is officially put together by the game's own creative team. It also features a much more fancy interface than what is typically found on Fandom.com.

The fact that PUBG has lore may come as a surprise to casual fans of the game. It's not obvious that there are subtle hints scattered throughout the game when you're focused solely on ultimately winning the chicken dinner.

Some would say that not all video games need to be supported by a complex lore base. But I am a lore addict, so the more lore I don't need, the better. But I am a lore addict, so the less lore I don't need, the better. And I'm glad that PUBG Corp is distributing this stuff on their new website instead of going crazy scrambling to get tie-in novels, comics, exclusive bonuses, and other supplemental material.

PUBG Lore is now open to the public and includes a short story in addition to the wiki-like entries. Only a few pages are up at this time, but the welcome message in the site's news feed is a clear indication that plans are afoot to add more. If you're a PUBG fan and have some time to spare, it's worth checking out.
