On The Future Of PUBG

Imagine yourself on the streets Los Leones, the largest city within the desert map of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds . You’re rifling through the weathered, abandoned buildings, collecting precious loot in hopes of coming across the ever-elusive level three-helmet or 8x scope – when all of a sudden, explosions begin randomly crashing down around you. Before you can do anything, a final blow takes you out, promptly ending your quest for a chicken dinner. It’s then that you realize: you were in the red z


"It is an overwhelming voice already! And people say there's no reason to it but it provides audio cover, it really looks cool when you're fighting in it. And really, you shouldn't be dying to the red zone. If you're dying to the red zone then, I'm sorry but you're not a very good player. It's like, you know there's a hundred meter safe zone around the edge of it, if you're in a building there's a very little chance of you getting hit, it's there for a specific reason, it looks really cool and it provides tension. If you're trapped in a fight in the red zone, it's exciting! People say that it has no reason, but it does. It's there for a very specific reason which is providing audio cover and even when it's a little bit in the distance it provides enough cover to run a little bit, so, there are reasons. But, that said, if there is an outpouring of hate towards it, we may consider


In an interview with Eurogamer , Greene stated that there is no reason a player should die in the red zone. Greene also conveyed confidence in the reason for the zone’s in-game existence, which has endured some pushback from some of the PUBG community’s louder voi


Rules of Survival and Knives Out are both 100-player battle royale games, featuring battles set on an island that players arrive to by parachuting from a plane. The battles, unsurprisingly, feature almost every staple of PUBG , from shrinking "safe zones," to the collection of weapons and vehicles scattered across the

PlayerUnknown also wants to get Battlegrounds onto the eSports scene, but isn't ready yet. They are in the process of developing systems for broadcasters to use for better match coverage and want to work on it more before letting people use it. The data analytics team at Bluehole is working to improve the ranking and player performance data to make sure they are ready to get into the eSports world as well.


"We really want to keep iterating and keep trying stuff, and we have our Test Server, we have our Experimental Test Server now so we can roll out stuff earlier. And it really is about using our community and getting their feedback early on so we can just keep testing and keep moving forward. So the process we built up last year we're just refining now and carrying into the futu

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.


Greene continued to state that although the red zone serves a purpose, the decision on whether or not to remove it from the game – as with all other in-game features – will ultimately come down to the collaborative efforts between the community and the development t

The new and much smaller 4x4 km island map will be released on the test server in April. It is meant to give a shorter, more intense experience with the same number of players. An 8x8 km map is also on the way to the test servers.

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.

As PUBG came closer to launch, many of the small updates, in addition to the expected refinements and tweaks, included new weapons or clothing items, with the former primarily being loot crate-exclusive guns that weren’t common enough to have a drastic impact on the core gameplay for most players. While these small additions were welcome, and would continue to be so over the months to come, Bluehole will have to set their sights higher if they want to keep old players returning and attract new players. Considering how large an impact the second map has made upon the playerbase, concrete details regarding a third or fourth map could spark intrigue among the community, as well as the assortment of new vehicles that could be found within it. Beyond the predictable, Bluehole and Pubg Tips Corp. likely have a few surprises up their sleeves as PUBG enters its second year and it will be interesting to see whether or not the developers can curb the current downward trend of one of 2017’s definitive titles.


The highly anticipated 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been delivered, detailing planned additions and changes for the battle royale game for the upcoming year.
