Contributed ongoing English to Traditional Chinese localization for PUBG: New State Mobile through SYGYZY Information Services, working on KRAFTON's next-generation mobile battle royale set in a futuristic 2051 universe. Handled both patch notes and in-game UI strings across regular update cycles, keeping pace with a live service game receiving frequent new content, seasonal updates, and gameplay balance changes.
Localizing for New State came with its own set of challenges distinct from the PC version. The game introduced an entirely new futuristic setting with its own terminology, factions, and world-building, which meant building and maintaining a separate glossary that stayed consistent with the broader PUBG universe without directly recycling existing translations. UI strings on mobile also required particular attention to character limits, since screen real estate on mobile is significantly tighter than on PC or console.
Released November 11, 2021 globally on iOS and Android, the game surpassed 50 million downloads within its first month. Prior to launch it accumulated over 55 million pre-registrations across Google Play and the App Store, making it one of the most anticipated mobile game launches in the PUBG franchise's history.
