The new map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is sandy and offers plenty of space and buildings to hide. Here are the first images.
During Gamescom, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene gave players a first look at Battlegrounds’ new desert map. To be more precise: A city with lots of sand around. But don’t imagine it as a nice holiday spot, but more like a crazy ghost town in the desert.

At first glance at the new map, it becomes clear: There are many places to hide. The many opposing buildings also invite to shoot from window to window. If you want, you might find a cozy spot in the sand and spread out your towel while battles break out in the city for the various buildings.
In the distance, we can see more trees matching the suburban jungle, which may suggest a river or similar water supply.
If you look further into the distance, you can see steep mountains. Can we climb up there? From there, a sniper would have a good view of the players fleeing from the deadly battles in the city. So it’s a good opportunity to enjoy your chicken dinner with a nice view.
Previous work-in-progress images show a rough overview of the map and how its layout was planned or maybe still is. Here, the mentioned river is also emerging. The image shown above is presumably a view from the north towards the south with the stadium on the right side and the slums in the foreground.
What do you think of the new map? Have you been waiting for a desert setting with many buildings? Imagine the circle of death ending right on a building where players are spread across different floors. Then good nerves are required. This map has a lot of potential for exciting fights!
