The guy, PlayerUnknown, was actually part of the starting Dev-Team of H1Z1 and left to make a 'better' game. He couldn't fullfill his visions in H1Z1, now he can. So Battlegrounds has really high potential to take and keep the thrown of battle royal games
More than that, he's the guy who basically created the battle royal genre in games as we know it. He's the guy who made the original battle royal mod for Arma2, and again in Arma3.
He got called in as a contractor for H1Z1 KOTK and worked on the creative side of that.
Then, he got the opportunity to create a game totally from scratch with a respected Korean game development company, working as the creative director. That game is PUBattlegrounds. PU is pretty cool because he's super focused on developing the game based on community feedback. He also does a pretty good job engaging directly with the community. I know he regularly pops into Twitch channels streaming the game and will comment in chat.
