First images of the new Snow Map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have surfaced. Details about its size have also been confirmed.
Map already announced: Since E3 2018, we know that PUBG will receive another map this year. The theme of the map is icy, with snow, towers, and a dinosaur maze awaiting you.
News from data mining: While examining the PUBG files, data miners noticed that the first drafts and towers of the new map are already present in the code. The images have been shared with the community.
Snow Map size likely at 6×6
This is what the map looks like: The map consists of two parts, which are likely separated by a river. The northern side of the map appears to be frozen, allowing you to walk to the other part of the map. However, there are several other crossings, presumably bridges, connecting the two landmasses.
Map size between Erangel and Sanhok: PUBG Chief Brendan Greene already confirmed that the Snow Map will be somewhere between the size of Erangel/Miramar (8×8) and Sanhok (4×4). Counting the grid boxes shows that the map is 8×8, but the landmass is 6×6 – so it’s a middle ground between the previous maps.
On which playlist will the map appear? Since this size is exactly in the middle, it is unclear whether you can select it in the “Battle Royale” or “Mini Royale” playlist.
Name revealed: In the lower image of the map overviews, you will find the name of the map: Dihor Otok. However, this name and this drawing are only leaked and not the final result. This could change by the time of release.
Further details about Dihor Otok have surfaced
Data mining has revealed further details such as C4 or old buildings. Apparently, the new map includes stone walls, towers, and gates. Possibly even a castle? A maze called “Dino Park” was also found.
Is a night mode planned? Special weather conditions have been extracted from the data. Now fans are hoping that the long-desired night mode will finally be implemented. The reason for this is the file “Weather_Night.umap”.
New vehicle is a Beetle: A new map also needs a new vehicle. For the PUBG flair, it should be as old as possible, perhaps a bit run-down. This car fits perfectly into the picture:
When will it come? The discovery of data in the code shows that work is progressing rapidly. The map is expected to be released sometime in 2018. More details about the release date are yet to come. There is hope for a soon-to-be-released test server.
PUBG is getting a new reward system, which many are already complaining about
