Kraftton has released its plan for the future of PUBG: Battlegrounds , detailing the main changes to 2025. The game will be optimized for new generation consoles, ensuring better performance and graphic quality. The transition promises to improve the frame rate per second (SPF), reduce map loading time and raise visual fidelity.
In addition, the title will adopt Unreal Engine 5, a technology that will make the scenarios more realistic and allow greater flexibility in developing new content. This change aims to ensure that PUBG remains competitive and updated over the coming years.
The sustainability of the game will also be reinforced by the introduction of the PUBG UGC (UGC Content) project, which will allow players to create and share their own game modes. The first test of this initiative will be a new Team Deathmatch (TDM) style format within the custom matches.
Changes in the system of progression and balancing weapons
The company intends to unify the experience between the ranked and normal modes. Key elements of the casual game will be integrated into the ranked, providing a more fluid transition to players who wish to compete at a high level.
A patent system reformulation is scheduled for June, making progression more rewarding. Gunplay will undergo frequent adjustments, with bimonthly updates to balance the weapons. A large annual rebellion will also be implemented to diversify combat strategies.
Used weapons such as precision rifles (SRS), lightweight machine guns (LMGs) and pistols will be reformulated to make them more viable. In addition, new weapons and accessories are under development to expand players' tactical options.
Evolution of artificial intelligence and new interactions in the game
PUBG's Artificial Intelligence System (AI) will receive a significant update. Bots will be more strategic, reacting better to the movement of the blue zone and using defensive tactics, such as the use of smoke grenades to hide positions. These changes are intended to make confrontations with Ia more realistic and challenging.
The game will also bring more immersion to the environment with the introduction of AI -controlled animals. Although the details have not yet been revealed, this novelty can influence gameplay, making the public world more dynamic.
Another big news will be the implementation of destructible land on the Taego, Miramar and Erangel classic maps. This change will expand strategic possibilities, allowing players to change the combat scenario in an unprecedented way.
Content expansion and new collaborations
Kraftton intends to revitalize existing maps instead of launching new scenarios. This approach seeks to maintain the identity of the game while providing unheard of challenges to players.
Among the new gameplay features, we highlight the introduction of explosive gas tanks, which will release smoke when detonated. The vehicle camouflage system will also be improved, allowing players to hide their means of transport to avoid ambushes.
Alternative game modes such as Playeromnom's Battlegrounds and Project Cyclops, a RogueLike based on this structure, will be available with new stages. In addition, collaborations with automotive brands and artists will bring exclusive content to the game.
The Contender system will also be implemented by offering players more customization options for their characters, increasing individuality within the battlefield.
Strengthening measures against cheating at PUBG
To maintain the competitive integrity of the game, Krafton will invest in an enhanced safety system against cheats. New detection technologies, including machine learning, will be implemented to identify and eliminate the use of illegal software in real time.
The company also intends to reinforce the protection of players' accounts, making it difficult to sequin profiles and curb unfair practices.
With these changes, PUBG: Battlegrounds seeks to consolidate itself as one of the main shooting games on the market. The transition to new generation consoles, the adoption of Unreal Engine 5 and the introduction of custom content promises to renew the experience for players.
Kraftton will continue to update the game throughout the year, ensuring that the community has access to constant improvements. To keep up with the news, players can access PUBG's official website or follow the game's social networks.
