PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS News

PUBG: Battlegrounds gets first new map since going free-to-play today

Chicken-loving battle royale PUBG: Battlegrounds is adding its ninth map today, the near-future and ecologically compromised Deston. There’s plenty of fancy features in the new map such as ascenders to zip you up the side of its skyscrapers, and areas that only drones can get to. Sit back on your favourite airboat and glimpse the only slightly terrifying fate that awaits us all in the trailer below.

PUBG: Battlegrounds fans have long been waiting to get their hands on Deston, the new 8x8km map hitting the game today. Fans have known about the map, codenamed Kiki, for little over a year now - but the idea was actually conceived around four years ago, around the same time as Sanhok.

"We've been wanting to make a high rise map forever," PUBG's creative director Dave Curd tells The Loadout. "I remember pitching both Sanhok and a downtown style map almost four years ago. Haven was our first swing at the idea and it gave us a lot of key learnings."

But Deston is a world apart from Haven. While size is the obvious differentiator here - Deston is eight times bigger - the map has several different biomes, from vertical sprawling cities to rolling hills and dense swamps. It's been designed to not only as "combat contrasts" to force players to switch their playstyle up mid match, but as a way of ensuring that the final circle - wherever it lands - offers something different every time you play.
