New PUBG Map Teased At Game Developers Conference

As part of Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene’s speech at the Game Developers Conference, a “thank you” video package was shown, featuring the man himself, Creative Director Brendan Greene, along with CEO & Executive Producer Chang Han Kim, going through the highlights and challenges that resulted in releasing PUBG towards the end of last year.

Part of the video package was a brief section relating to the new map, currently under development. The map seems to have a much more tropical feel than the previous two map, featuring three landmasses that are connected via a multitude of bridges. The map itself seems much brighter, giving a tropical feel that should contrast nicely with the other two maps currently playable. From previous hints towards the map, we know that it will be much smaller than the previous maps, condensing and accelerating the action as it happens.

The map will be available for testing on the Public Test Server in early April, and as Greene talks about in the video, the hope is that the lengthened public test time will hopefully allow players to give much more feedback to the developers, therefore improving the game before its eventual release. Both Kim and Greene talk extensively about the feedback they have received regarding the game, both positive and negative, and re-iterate that they welcome all feedback regarding the game, in all its forms.

The Battle Royale craze has only intensified since PUBG released last year, to the point where players and viewers could now get their hands on some very interesting loot.
