In a recent announcement, the developers of PUBG revealed major updates for the popular battle royale game. Among these changes is the introduction of destructible environments and a transition to Unreal Engine 5, promising significant enhancements to gameplay and visuals.
The addition of destructible environments is expected to elevate the game’s strategic depth, allowing players to strategically destroy sections of buildings.
This feature aims to add a new layer of skill and tactics, moving beyond simple environmental destruction. Games like Battlefield have long featured destructible environments, while Fortnite offers some destructibility, contrasting with Call of Duty: Warzone, which lacks this feature.
Krafton, PUBG’s developer, highlighted that the upcoming destructible elements will introduce dynamism and unpredictability, requiring players to adapt their strategies flexibly. Initial features of the destructible environments will roll out in an update scheduled for April, with ongoing updates and enhancements planned.
In addition to destructible environments, PUBG is set to transition to Unreal Engine 5 later this year. Krafton also revealed plans to establish a user-generated content platform for PUBG, empowering players to create and engage with their own content. This initiative aims to cultivate a vibrant, creator-driven ecosystem within the game.
Despite these exciting developments, it remains unclear whether these changes will be exclusive to PC or also extend to console and mobile platforms. Nevertheless, Krafton’s focus on these key projects indicates a commitment to PUBG’s growth and evolution through community-driven innovation.
