Get Your First Glimpse Of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' New Desert Map
We've previously seen rough sketches for the two new maps Bluehole is cooking up for its 2017 phenomenon PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Now, creative director Brendan Greene shared the first screenshots of one of the new locations after a recent visit to the Madison development offices.
This 4x4 km desert location features war-ravaged dwellings, a large canyon, a river, and hillside slums hit by recent sandstorms. You can see the two screenshots above and below:
Still in early access, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is moving to console soon. Check us out playing the game (badly) here and here, and read about Greene's vision for the future of the game here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
