Krafton will take part in the series' development and production through its entertainment unit LV3H.
Donald Glover (도날드 글로버) will serve as writer, director, lead actor and executive producer. He won Emmy and Golden Globe awards for the drama series "Atlanta" and also appeared in "Community".

LV3H plans to push to expand PUBG IP into video content through the series.
