That’s not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven’t confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.
While the lawsuit is one to watch given that it could have significant implications regarding other PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds clones, this isn’t the only reason why people are talking about it. In an excerpt of the lawsuit, PUBG Corp. also admits that the game’s cosmetics affect gameplay. The quote from the developer re
As you can imagine, another major focus for the development team is working out the kinks in stability — a task which is a much more common topic of discussion for both the developers and the community. In this respect, Bluehole noted “it is impossible to solve these problems once and for all, but our goal is to continuously improve in this rega
The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds creator revealed as much to US Gamer during the 2018 Game Developers Conference, with Greene stating, “I mean, everyone that [suggests] region locking [is forgetting about] VPN. It just doesn’t work.” Greene then went on to point out that the recently implemented ping-based matchmaking, which only pairs players with those who have the same or similar ping, has improved the experience for m
Apart from that, the developer is planning on adding new Game Modes, new vehicles, and new weapons to bring some added variety. Additionally, for a UI update they hope to add in Achievements, in-game friends list, and main menu voice chat supp
Ever since its inception, the development team behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been trying to thwart cheating as much as possible, with one attempt being in the addition of reporting aspects to the game, including the somewhat recently incorporated 3D killcams and replay features . Furthermore, PUBG Corp. has, as Greene suggested to US Gamer, implemented “anti-cheating testing internally” with the company “working to build systems to really get a handle on the guys that don’t want to play fa
It seems like a lot for one year, but with the amount of people still playing PUBG and the boom that is happening right now in the battle royale scene, PlayerUnknown and the team at Bluehole are in for some stiff competition and they’ll have to work hard if they want to keep up.
Of course, not everything on the roadmap is targeting the Fortnite audiences and much of the upcoming plans are simple tweaks and home-page polishing of what PUBG does best. Improving on the graphics, the art team is reportedly working on all around improvements to make the game more aesthetically pleasing. For instance, check out the new art direction on buildi
And while PUBG is taking an aggressive stance when it comes to development, so to is their biggest competitor Fortnite . Even in the past month, Epic Games has revealed they will support Xbox One cross-platform support , a launch onto mobile platforms , a new 20 person team mode , and Xbox One X optimizati
Outside of direct gameplay changes, PUBG Corp. is still hard at work. In-game achievements and a friends list, as well as squad voice chat, are each going to be added in 2018. And server stability, connection speeds, and dealing with cheaters remains the studio’s first priority in 2
The developer goes on to note that in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , players must “visually detect” other players because of the lack of player indicators seen in other shooter games. PUBG Corp. is using this particular section of the lawsuit to assert that games like Rules of Survival have also ripped off the style of cosmetics offered by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . These cosmetic similarities, the developer appears to suggest, should be taken seriously because they actively impact the core, PUBG gameplay experience. It also argues that the visual design of these cosmetics is a “protectable” w
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun
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
