Krafton have just announced a massive set of updates for the battle-royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds. In a dev video, the team confirmed new content is on the way along with new features like destructible environments, allowing players to break down doors, dig holes in the ground and more.
In addition, PUBG is switching to Unreal Engine 5 which will allow for better visual fidelity but more importantly, the inclusion of user-generated content, allowing players to create their own stuff in the game.
There's a lot more too, including new anti-cheat measures, matchmaking improvements and adjustments to gunplay and other gameplay elements. Below you can find the detailed description of all these announced updates.
PUBG 2024 roadmap
Here's a quick breakdown of everything that is coming to PUBG: Battlegrounds in 2024:
- Destructible Environments - Players will be able to strategically destroy sections of buildings or construct defensive barriers, opening new attack routes or securing areas. These features will be previewed in the upcoming April update.
- Gameplay Adjustments - Gunplay updates are scheduled to release every two months, aiming to foster a stable ecosystem and provide a greater diversity of choices to players.
- New content and collaborations - A range of collaborations and skins, including collaborations with sought-after vehicle brands and unique IPs, as well as progressive weapon skins that reflect players’ preferences through a series of upgrades.
- Matchmaking Improvements - Changes are coming to matchmaking to ensure a more balanced environment in Normal Matches. The MMR (Matchmaking Rating) system will undergo refinements to offer fairer competition among players of similar skill levels.
- Ranked Overhauls - The Rondo map will be added to the Ranked play map pool in April, with considerations for its future inclusion in Esports. New tiered rewards and exclusive Ranked play rewards will be introduced to make Ranked play more appealing. Changes to the Rank Points system, including a greater weight given to kills, will make the tiers more accurately reflect skill levels, with a pilot test scheduled for April.
- Unreal Engine 5 and UGC - The devs say Unreal Engine 5 transition marks the start of an exciting journey, alongside preparations for User Generated Content (UGC), with the aim to empower players to create and engage with their content and foster a vibrant, creator-driven ecosystem.
- Anti-Cheat Enhancements - Anti-cheat measures will be intensified, expanding the focus beyond Ranked play to include Normal Matches and all game modes. Upgrades to existing solutions and the active use of deep learning technology will enhance the speed and efficiency of detecting and penalising illegal software use.
