　　Now Playing: New PUBG Game From Call Of Duty Dev Announced - GS News Update

　　"Throughout my career, I've had a lot of opportunities to make some remarkable games that tell incredible stories, and each of them has meant something special to me," said Schofield. "But now, those learnings will help me build a AAA team that can explore new designs and concepts at Striking Distance.

　　"As a creative, the freedom to explore the PUBG universe has me excited about the possibilities, which I view as beyond the battle royale genre. Today represents a special moment for me and I’m so thankful to be taking this journey with the team at PUBG Corporation."

　　Striking Distance is developing the next game in the PUBG universe, though it won't be a sequel. Judging from Schofield's statement, it sounds as if the game won't be a battle royale title. Little else is known about the game at present.

　　Before founding Striking Distance, Schofield worked extensively on the Call of Duty franchise. His work spanned Modern Warfare 3, Advanced Warfare, and WWII. Before that, he was at Visceral Games and EA, while his past employers include Crystal Dynamics and the now-defunct Absolute Entertainment.
