The creator behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Brendan Greene, has revealed that he's ready to put the battle royale genre behind him.

Speaking during an interview with GI.biz, Greene said that he's not interested in making PUBG2, and fancies having a crack at something else entirely. His comments come following Greene's decision to step back from the day-to-day operations of PUBG.

'The last man standing concept is great, but I've done that,' said Greene. 'I don't really intend to make PUBG 2. I've done battle royale, it's time to try something else." Greene also doesn't have much interest in players killing each other anymore, either. "I think I've provided others with a good way of killing each other. But I want to explore some other things.'

Greene has now been given the chance to form a new team and explore fresh ideas. 

'There is no deadline here, this is us with a few years to play,' he said. 'Gaming and the industry has become so hard this is a very lucky thing to have. We can genuinely explore and be curious for some time.'
