Inspired by the Phraya Nakhon Cave outside of Bangkok.
The new PlayerUnknown’s Battelgrounds Map will feature Underground passageways.
A blog post on the game’s Steam page explains the new map, currently known as Codename: Savage, will continue to be developed while available for play, and part of this will include adding an underground Cave system which can be parachuted into via a large entry point on the map.
Players will then be able to exit the cave network via several tunnels and exits offering different possibilities for using this new terrain in play.
The team found inspiration for this new addition, which they believe will set this map apart from the first two, during their trip to Thailand at the Phraya Nakhon Cave outside of Bangkok.
You can see how this inspiration is being turned into the game map in this gallery.
Recently custom games, spectator mode, and new crates and weapon skins were added to PUBG’s test server and there’s more to come with creative director Brendan ‘PlayerUnknown’ Greene saying he wants to keep supporting the game for the next 20 years.
If you haven’t yet jumped on this phenomenon Xbox owners have an opportunity to try it for free this weekend during Xbox Live Gold’s free play days.
