Krafton, the company behind battle royale title PUBG: Battlegrounds, has announced that it is acquiring Neon Giant, the developer of cyberpunk action-shooter RPG title The Ascent.

The announcement was made during Krafton’s latest earnings report, in which they revealed that Neon Giant is currently working on an open-world FPS game. However, Krafton provided no further information about the title.
According to Krafton, the acquisition of Neon Giant is a part of the company’s investment in “its development and service capabilities to ensure a steady pipeline of premium titles.”
The Ascent proved remarkably successful when it first released back in July last year, launching on PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The cyberpunk title topped $5million (£3,591,025) during its launch weekend alone – a figure that doesn’t factor in any additional revenue the developer received for launching the game on the subscription service.
