To PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds two new maps have been planned for a while. However, these new areas are far from finished. Additionally, there is new information about the first-person mode. It lacks the crosshair.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently played on a large map reminiscent of an abandoned island in the former Soviet Union. But that is not the only thing. Two new maps for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are in planning. A map in the Mediterranean and a desert map have already been introduced.
The scenes shown from the maps are still far from a reason to expect an imminent release.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – New maps have only shown a “showcase corner” so far
According to PUBG head Brendan Greene, creating a map takes a very long time.
It took more than six months alone to make the current map playable, and what has been seen in the previous screenshots would only be a beautiful “showcase corner” of the map.
So a point that has already been completed to show what is still possible. The new maps will still take a lot of time. They will announce a new map “when it’s ready.” Also, the famous bicycle on the desert map would indeed be usable, the game mechanics would be there. However, Greene doesn’t want to promise anything yet.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – No animals on the maps, PUBG remains PvP
Furthermore, there will not be any wild animals on the maps in the foreseeable future. The AI required for that would be far too complex, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is primarily a PvP shooter without PvE elements.
Even though Brendan Greene thinks it’s cool to be attacked by wild animals while sneaking through the vegetation.
Also interesting: The old map is by no means going to become irrelevant when the new battlegrounds arrive. Instead, the old map is to receive updates regularly and grow alongside it.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – First-Person mode without crosshair
For the soon-to-be-released first-person mode in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, there is also something new. In addition to the new perspective, there will be no automatically displayed crosshair. This means you will have to use the respective aiming device of your weapon.
According to Brendan Greene, this is much better for an intense gaming experience. The new servers for the First-Person mode in solo and duo mode come with the postponed big PUBG update on August 3, which will also bring microtransactions.
