PUBG's Original Map, Erangel, Getting Major Overhaul This Summer

Brendan Greene, aka PlayerUnknown, will be leaving his old position working on _PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds _ in favor of a different direction. The creator of one of the most popular battle royale games of all-time announced he would be pursuing a brand new project and would be taking on a different role within PUBG Corporation as a res
“The past five years of my life has been all about battle royale…today, I’m excited to announce that my new day-to-day focus will be heading up a new division of PUBG Corp.: PUBG Special Projects. While I’ll remain as consulting creative director on PUBG , development will be led by Taeseok Jang and the fantastic team I have had the honor of working with over the past three yea
Recently, the Chinese government created an Online Gaming Ethics Review Committee to ensure video games do not contain “ethically questionable content.” Of the 20 games reviewed by this new committee, 11 developers were instructed to take “corrective action.” 9 games have been selected, including Fortnite , to be banned in its entirety. While the banned games may be a surprise to some, it’s worth mentioning that China has even censored Winnie the Pooh in Kingdom Hearts
That’s not to say, however, that the games selected by the Review Committee have been banned over a meme. For the most part, the games banned seem to come down to blood and gore, vulgar content, overly revealing female characters, and inharmonious chatter. The latter is defined as a “perceived lack of effort to combat toxicity , vulgarity, and politically sensitive speech” in ch
Greene isn’t speaking just about himself either; he wants to instill this same philosophy into his new studio, the PUBG Special Projects team. He aims to get his team to a place where they work “four days a week and have a day to do whatever they want.” Happiness is his priority for his development team, but even he acknowledges that they’re all going to have to work hard to get to that po
PUBG has also been openly criticized about the decisions being made behind the scenes of the game, especially those regarding skins and other cosmetic items usually purchased through microtransactions. The infamous Suicide Squad collaboration from last year raised the ire of many a player for the frankly ridiculous cost of some simple cosmetic costumes, and the game’s marketplace on Steam has gone through several iterations of comedic inflation on sought-after items. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but PUBG also has been losing ground when it comes to pure play, with many believing Fortnite to be a more enjoyable experience while Apex Legends has more refined and skill-intensive mechanics. Where once there was a clear niche PUBG occupied, now the game’s identity has begun to wa
A couple of years after its last release, Respawn Entertainment surprised the game industry by simultaneously announcing and launching a free to play battle royale title called Apex Legends . While many other attempts were made and ultimately failed to capture the success of PUBG and Fortnite , Apex Legends continues to grow at a rapid pace having just crossed 50 million players in about a months time . Even though its popularity remains high and content updates continue to arrive at a consistent rate, Apex Legends does suffer from a few issues that negatively sets it apart from its closest riv
I’ve logged an absurd amount of hours into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ( PUBG ) on Xbox One (God rest my soul) and two Steam accounts (because apparently I was too good and they thought I was hacki
Now, you could try using that crossbow or shotgun throughout the match because the Canted Sight allows you to get more functionality out of your weapons. (I’m not saying the Crossbow is good, but it does one-shot-kill anyone in the head, even with a Level 3 hel
PUBG is getting up there in age for a battle royale title , especially given the speed with which the market for these games fluctuates. Revisiting some old magic isn’t a bad idea, but it does seem to ignore the much deeper problem of needing a fundamental design change to keep up with the games that PUBG inspired. Those titles have the benefit of fixing what PUBG did sub-optimally and innovating, and with so many iterations of that, now it’s **PUBG ** ‘s turn to see if it can turn back the clock and refresh the game enough to become a stalwart of battle royale streaming once m
One user, a YouTuber known as Battle(non)sense, analyzes and tests the more technical aspects of popular video games like the netcode, then posting the results to their channel. With a glut of popular battle royale games currently available, the user took it upon themselves to test out the most popular ones including Ring of Elysium , Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Fortnite , PUBG DLC|Https://Pubgfrontierzone.Com/ , and Apex Legends .
