PUBG's new Paramo map may be home to the Fountain of Youth
October 7, 2020 PUBG Corp. has published a video containing new hints about Paramo.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has a new map on the way, and now we're almost certain that it's called Paramo. Set on a plateau in the mountains of Peru, Paramo apparently holds ancient mysteries - and, we're guessing, a bunch of guns.
In late September, a series of crates were shipped out with pieces of a stone tablet and letters referencing 'Paramo,' all of which pointed to a major update. Dataminer PlayerIGN tweeted pictures of one of the crates. A wax-sealed letter from a researcher makes reference to a dig in a location called Paramo, and mentions that researchers have smashed a stone tablet into nine pieces for secret delivery. The stone shard inside the crate has lengthy lines of a mysterious language written across it, which the community is now working to decipher.
"Perhaps you'll be able to decode it and - if you can find others like you - unlock the curious backstory of our new map for season 9," PUBG Corp wrote in a message attached to the crates. The word Paramo is generally used to refer to a mountainous tropical region, usually in South America, and that indeed is where the map is set - in the Andes mountains of Peru.
