==History== Following the success of PUBG: Battlegrounds, which had led to both investment from Tencent Holdings, and expansion and acquisition of studios, Bluehole opted to establish Krafton on November 5th 2018, to serve as a holding company for its video game properties. "Krafton" was selected based on the names of craft guilds of the Middle Ages. Kim Chang-han, the CEO of the PUBG Corporation (current PUBG Studios) that developed ''PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'', was named as CEO for Krafton.
