PUBG Studios is making a bold move by diving into uncharted territory with its newly announced gameProject ARC, a 5v5 shooter. The team behind the groundbreaking battle royalePUBG: Battlegrounds, is switching fromPUBG’s vast, open battlefields to a top-down 5v5 arena tactical shooter.
Project ARCis a five-versus-five shooter designed with a top-down perspective, focusing on quick strategic play and cooperative mechanics rather than individual survival. The situation places it in a similar position toHelldivers 2, a sequel that also attempted to take over a target market and succeeded.

UnlikeHelldivers 2, which made the successful jump from top-down to third-person shooter,Project ARCis taking an even bigger gamble by choosing to switch POVs in a similar way. Rather than expanding onPUBG’s realistic first- and third-person perspectives, the new game will shrink the scope to a top-down viewpoint.
