It’s an epic look at what players can expect when they hop back into Sakhok upon the release of this update.PUBG: Battlegroundsalready requires tons of tactical nous to succeed, but this is sure to raise the skill ceiling even higher.
PUBG’s Destructible Environments Are Coming To Sanhok
The destructible environments feature was previously made available for the Rondo map inPUBG: Battlegrounds' 29.1 updateearlier this year, but this is the first time it’s coming to Sanhok. It’s a map that has been around since 2018, so this should provide a massive shake-up in how it’s played going forward. It will always be challenging to make a map feel fresh again when players are so familiar with it, but destructible environments will be a great way to achieve this without fundamentally changing the layout. PC players can try it out from December 4, while console players must wait until December 12.
While Sanhok’s destructible environments will provide something new in the game’s immediate future, it’s not the only thing that fans have to look forward to. Earlier this year,PUBG: Battlegrounds' 2024 roadmapfeatured a move to Unreal Engine 5. Considering the lack of news about this since, it’s unlikely to come this year, but it’s good to know that it’s still in the works.
