PUBG Taego release times confirmed - here's when the new map goes live

The new map for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds goes live on PC this Wednesday, July 7, and now developer Krafton has revealed exactly when players will be able to access the massive new Taego map. The full PUBG Taego map release times are below, but expect the game to go offline for maintenance for a significant amount of time beforehand.

Earlier today, the PUBG developer posted on the game's Discord server the exact times when the still incredibly popular battle royale title will go offline for maintenance - and when it will come back with the Taego map available to play. PUBG will go offline for eight hours starting July 6 at 17:30 PDT or July 7 at 01:30 BST / 02:30 CEST / 09:30 KST.

Therefore the PUBG update 12.2 release times on July 7 are 1:30 PDT / 9:30 BST / 10:30 CEST / 17:30 KST - so the whole world will be able to experience the new Taego map on the live servers on the same day, at least on PC, as the console version isn't due until July 15.

PUBG's Taego adds Train To Busan and Marvel's Eternals star Don Lee

A new cinematic trailer for the upcoming PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Taego update has been released, which gives a good look at the map - but more importantly, makes it seem as if Train To Busan and Marvel's Eternals star Don Lee is a playable character.

The new CGI trailer went up today in advance of next week's big Taego update, which goes live on July 7 and adds a brand new map as big as the original Miramar to PUBG - not to mention a bunch of new features, of which some are highlighted in the new trailer. These include a self-revive mechanic and the Hyundai Pony Coupe, which seems to be officially licensed and not a lookalike.

The big news is the appearance of South Korean-American actor Don Lee/Ma Dong-seok, who is best known as Sang-hwa in iconic zombie movie Train To Busan and will be seen as Gilgamesh in Marvel's Eternals later this year. Earlier this week, Lee appeared in the "PUBG Universe" live-action short 'Ground Zero', which ties into Taego - and now, it seems like his character will make the jump to the game itself and may possibly be playable.
