PUBG Corp further illustrated their plans for the cave by sharing some concept art along with a diagram which outlines its key geographic features and exit routes. The developer didn’t give a specific release date for this addition, saying only that it could show up sometime within “the next couple of testing cycl
In the latest blog post from PlayerUnknown himself, the road-map the company is looking at for the upcoming year has been detailed . The goals include everything from game modes and maps, to weapons, vehicles and emotes.
It seems like a lot for one year, but with the amount of people still playing PUBG and the boom that is happening right now in the battle royale scene, PlayerUnknown and the team at Bluehole are in for some stiff competition and they’ll have to work hard if they want to keep up.
Savage is going to get an underground cave system, something out of a NatGeo feature or Godzilla movie, and the devs are building it based on the real-world location of Phraya Nakhon Cave which means one of the rooftop cave entrances will be so big that players can parachute straight into it from the beginning of a ma
Despite encountering a multitude of difficulties, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has managed to continually change and grow in the months since it exploded onto the gaming scene early last year. Just last weekend the game’s developers implemented a new War mode that pitted three squads of ten players against each other. This new mode only lasted for the weekend, but PUBG DLC Corp appears to have several other additions in the works that will help keep the game’s community energi
PUBG Mobile has drummed up some controversy for its use of bots for players’ first few games. This seems to have been a tactic to ease players into the mobile battle royale experience, but nevertheless, “winning” fake Chicken Dinners rubbed fans the wrong way. Now, that’s not to say bots, in general, are a bad idea. In fact, it’s easy to see how they could add to the PUBG experience on other platfo
Considering the fact that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Steam sales have made it the third-highest grossing game on Valve’s digital distribution platform, it’s safe to say that the battle royale title is a bona fide success. Of course, many would still argue that the game suffers from a litany of issues, with one ever-present complaint from lots of fans being about how Chinese cheaters are making PUBG matches unfair. This has led to plenty of calls for PUBG Corp. to “region lock China,” but its creator Brendan Greene disagrees that it’s a viable solution to the prob
And finally, for you developers out there, Bluehole is working on a PUBG Developer Portal and API that will allow developers to create “compelling resources for players.” The API will include match data at the match-level, season-level and lifetime-level, allowing developers to create custom games within PUBG itself. This in hopes that it will help eSports groups create and manage games for broadcast.
Given the early access nature of the game at launch, the long period of slow updates as the primary focus shifted to gambling for loot boxes to sell on Steam for real money, it’s seemed for a few months now that PUBG Corp was playing the short-term game. The rushed nature of the mobile and Xbox One versions of the games signify the company’s obvious intention of letting the game spread as fast as possible before something else takes over, and Fortnite already did. And now they have an incomplete game with pissed off players who are moving over in dro
Beyond this, the devs also hinted at the eventual addition of new weapons and a Tuk Tuk vehicle. For those unaware, Tuk Tuks are three-wheeled vehicles common to Thailand. They’re basically an auto-rickshaw, named for the sound their engines make and are commonly employed as taxis and delivery vehicles. Now that a major vehicle bug has been resolved across all the game’s platforms, their eventual implementation will likely be a smooth
Meanwhile, competitor Epic Games is touting more new modes, another new season of content and a mobile version of Fortnite which will support cross-play with PC and PS4 versions of the game. It’s that rapid development, lack of loot box gambling, lack of hackers, and great communication with the community that’s helping Fornite takeover PU
Yet Esports tournaments seem to be a big focus (alongside loot boxes) while optimization and dealing with hackers has fallen by the wayside, at least in terms of perception by active players. It’s why we stopped playing over the last two weeks (the hackers and awful in-game reward syst
While some PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fans may disagree with Greene’s stance when it comes to the notion of region locking the game in China, it would be difficult for one to claim that PUBG Corp. is not taking the issue of cheating seriously. After all, the development team behind the battle royale title has been steadily working on anti-cheat updates, introduced fresh rules in an effort to stop cheaters and unauthorized programs, and has banned more than one million players in the past for the offe
