PUBG’s 2024 roadmap announced, Unreal Engine 5 upgrade and new overhauls detailed

While the PUBG mod has been with us for over a decade, the official, standalone Battle Royale version of the game is just turning seven years old. As part of the game's 7th anniversary roadmap, players can expect a big overhaul, with the game moving over to Unreal Engine 5. 

Unreal Engine 5 includes access to new technologies to present next generation graphics and physics. In 2024, with the jump to UE5, PUBG will get destructible environments, a weapon balance overhaul, new features, collaborations and gameplay modes, matchmaking improvements, and anti-cheat enhancements.

The developers at Krafton went into more detail during the latest developer diary. Players can expect balance updates every two months, with player feedback from the ‘Gunplay Labs' mode taken into account for any changes needed. Additionally, those who want to really get competitive will benefit from a new ranked mode overhaul, and ranked players will soon get access to Rondo, the latest map in PUBG.

PUBG is available for free across PC, Xbox and PlayStation. A separate mobile-focused version is also available on iOS and Android devices.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
