Not all content will be entirely new; much of what's planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi
There's more than just two new 2018 maps in the works, though. PUBG Corp. is working on an all-new emote feature, replete with an emote wheel so players can bow, wave, dance, and taunt as necessary mid-game. New vehicles and weapons are in-development, including the FN FAL. And customization options will continue to be added throughout the year, including skins for parachutes and weap
For the past six months many gamers have been discussing pay-to-win loot boxes in games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2 , a title which removed gameplay buffs from purchasable loot boxes due to backlash. Many have also called for games to only offer cosmetic loot which only changes a character's appearance rather than their ability to do something in a game so that those with more money to burn do not have an unfair advant
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures.

But as the tweet from Bloomberg's Nakamura points out, the number of concurrent players on PC peaked last month, and there has been a steady downward trend ever since. The Xbox One version is also known to have several technical issues, which may be scaring off some console-exclusive players from purchasing the game. So, while PUBG Corp. continues to crack down on cheaters, they will probably need more than just one new map to keep **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** ' player base satiated going forward, especially with more games adding their own battle royale modes to compete in the new mar
Finally, pubg Collectibles Corp. dedicated itself to a routine schedule for major patches in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . From here on, major patches are planned to be released on a 2-month schedule, with the first such patch planned for March. Smaller patches and hotfixes will continue to be released as needed, especially as the Experimental Test Server grows in
Since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds does sell loot crates - with some players also willing to pay excessive amounts of money for in-game cosmetics - some will also wonder whether PUBG deserves to be included in the pay-to-win deb
Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro
Today's 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.'s lack of dedication to these pl
Between this and the armored UAZ vehicle that's also been announced, it looks like players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have plenty to look forward to over the coming months. Exciting though they may be, they will take time to implement; time PUBG really doesn't need to lose to its biggest competitor, Fortnite .
