PUBG: Battlegrounds is getting a new map today. Named Rondo, it features the largest zone for combat in any map the game has ever seen, and is quite the big deal for those invested in the game. To help celebrate this release, the team at Krafton has released a live action film staring non other than Squid Game star Lee Jung-Jae.

Named Ground of Honor: Rondo, the short film is directed by Sam Hargrave of Extraction and Extraction 2 fame. Everyone can watch the film right now on the official PUBG: Battlegrounds Youtube channel, and at roughly eight minutes long your boss will barely notice you're putting off work to watch it.

Though short, it is packed with action as you might expect. We're talking firefights, close-quarters-combat, drama... Everything you could possibly want. No frying pan though - perhaps PUBG has matured beyond the joys of clanking dudes with a cast iron skillet.
