PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently played on only one large map. The map looks like a rundown former Eastern Bloc region, but new maps are expected soon: a desert city and a Mediterranean island.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the battle royale shooter by Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene, places you as one of 100 players who are dropped over an abandoned island and are pitted against each other until only one (or one team) remains.
So far, only one map with an Eastern Bloc look has been available, but that will soon change as developers at Bluehole have two new maps in the works.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Mediterranean Map – Deadly Paradise
The two new maps offer a completely different terrain compared to the former Soviet aesthetic of the existing map. The first of the new maps visually takes place in a Mediterranean region. There are dense forests in the north and a picturesque coastline in the south. In the middle, there is a snow-capped mountain range. The island features various architectural styles and will measure – like the existing map – 8×8 kilometers.
The second map is inspired by a desert city. It is said to have once been a real eye-catcher, but has since been devastated by wars and partially buried by a sandstorm. The city is bordered by a river in the south and east, and in the northwest, there are hills with shabby slums.
PUBG: Smaller Map as an Alternative
The special thing about the desert city map is that it measures only 4×4 kilometers, making it only a quarter the size of the existing map and the Mediterranean map. With so many houses, fierce close-quarters combat and a true camper orgy should ensue.
Both maps are still under development and may change. A release date has not yet been set.
