The $250,000+ USD NEW STATE MOBILE Open Challenge amateur esports event will be hosted in Korea and expand with other global events in the future

Mumbai – KRAFTON, Inc. today announced it will host its first official NEW STATE MOBILE esports event in Korea from February 5-19 2022. With a prize pool of more than $250,000 USD, the NEW STATE MOBILE Open Challenge will offer the largest payout for an amateur esports event in the history of the country. During this event, players will exclusively play NEW STATE MOBILE’s new BR: Extreme Mode, which launched globally on Android and iOS last week as part of the game’s major January Update.

The NEW STATE MOBILE Open Challenge is the first esports event KRAFTON has planned for NEW STATE MOBILE in 2022, with plans to host more global events in the future. The goal of all upcoming events is to continue supporting the game’s community of highly-skilled players who enjoy intense, competitive and unique battle royale gameplay. Specific to the NEW STATE MOBILE Open Challenge, only Korea-based players who have earned Gold Tier or higher during Season 1, which began earlier this month, will be eligible to participate in the event.
