Teenage parasite TV network MTV has announced that they have purchased the rights to make a live TV adaptation of the hugely popular battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

The game, which has gathered an enormous following amongst PC gamers and is currently in early access on Steam with the game also announced for the upcoming Xbox One X, is all about survival as you and up to three friends scavenge and salvage weapons, ammo and health supplies in a rush to stay inside an ever-shrinking area of play from a toxic gas plume. It’s been lauded by gamers and critics alike for the developers excellent and consistent updates, and tense action where games usually only take up to 30 minutes per round.

And clearly, the American network has seen the potential in it as a reality show as they are now looking to begin pre-production for a real-life version to take place, with the pilot consisting of a group of 100 celebrities risking their lives to be crowned the real winner winner chicken dinner.

A spokesperson for MTV said “It’s exciting content like Battlegrounds that we know that our audience craves. The thrill of seeing their favourite celebrities scratch and claw for survival supplies and risk life their lives for the sweet plane drop loot is one that was too good an opportunity for MTV to pass up.



“Production of the show is already underway. We are looking at potential locations for the match and want to make sure that everything is as authentic to the source material as possible, right down to a genuine military base. If the celebrity version is a success, and we can move past the legal obstacles of genuine death, then we would love to open up the show to members of the public in order to win big prizes.”

MTV do not expect the show to be ready until 2018.

While no celebrity is yet confirmed, rumours are spreading that a number of celebrities from all over the globe are interested in taking part. Ex-SAS and survival adventurer Bear Grylls, rage magnet Katie Hopkins, and professional YouTube bully Leafyishere have all expressed an interest in the show. UK Twitter users have been calling on British Prime Minister Theresa May to take part, but we at Caketaku feel that she does not need to be put on an island by MTV to make her participation happen.
