KRAFTON has just lifted the lid on another year of PUBG updates, revealing a staggering 2024 roadmap bursting at the seams with innovative changes and additions coming to the popular battle royale game. In a massive 3000-word document, the full PUBG 2024 roadmap was outlined, revealing a dizzying amount of content. From destructible environments to new ‘Progressive Skins’, and from new collaborations to enhancements to matchmaking, a huge amount is coming to PUBG this year.
PUBG was once considered the spearhead of the battle royale genre. It was a paradigm-defining title that paved the way for games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty Warzone – but it still has plenty left in the tank, as the brand-new 2024 roadmap reveals. The free-to-play game remains immensely popular as it enters its seventh year of operations, and everything from the esports ecosystem to the game’s most fundamental elements will be tweaked this year.
PUBG Power
PUBG remains one of the most popular battle royale titles on Earth, and it boasts a dramatically valuable esports ecosystem. This year, the entire end-to-end flow of PUBG will be addressed by a bustling roadmap that will change the face of the game.
At the top of the table sits new destructible map environments. It was revealed in a mega-sized blog post by KRAFTON that ‘strategic destruction’ will be made possible in 2024 in PUBG. It’s a hope that this will unlock ‘an enriched layer of strategy and tactics’ in the game – the depth of these destructive elements is yet to be confirmed, though. In terms of the environment, the development team is also working on transitioning the entire game to Unreal Engine 5.
Not only that but the team is building a ‘User Generated Content’ service that’s going to be akin to Fortnite’s UEFN. This will allow PUBG fans to get creative on the platform they know and love, ensuring that PUBG grows immeasurably over time. That community will be able to soak up several collaborations through 2024, too – and there’s a new ‘Progressive Weapon Skin System’ coming to the game’s ecosystem – as well as a ‘Black Market’ experience that’ll allow users to trade skins like they can in Counter-Strike 2 (and now Rainbow Six Siege).
Unstoppable Change
As part of the PUBG 2024 roadmap, the developers want to alter the established metas and ’empower non-mainstream weapons’. There will be gunplay updates deployed every two months, balancing and adjusting various weapons on the fly. There are new survival items and character actions lined up, too. In-game characters will become more dynamic, and PUBG’s fundamental survival aspects will be bolstered with new items that ‘facilitate transportation and looting’.
Fans will also be pleased to hear extensive updates are being made this year to the game’s matchmaking systems – which includes map rotations. New rewards are being lined up for Ranked on PUBG, which will ‘heighten the satisfaction’ of the more challenging modes. On the safety and security front, it was revealed that PUBG’s anti-cheat systems will see a sizeable boost. In 2023, a whopping 3.1 million permanent bans were handed out to cheaters – a staggering figure.
It’s going to be a wild year for PUBG players.
