PUBG DEV TALK: VIKENDI REBORN - LIVESTREAM


Hello players!


We’ve already told you through our Dev Plan 2022 that Vikendi will be going through a large-scale revamp that includes new features, shifts to terrain/areas, and more.


Vikendi received many love as PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ unique wintery map, but it also went through various in-game issues during its service. Thus, we decided to withdraw Vikendi from the pool for a while and work on improving several aspects of the map.


After months of improvements, the overhauled Vikendi is now almost ready to reveal itself to you all. But before its grand update, we’d love to meet you via our upcoming “PUBG DEV TALK: VIKENDI REBORN” a livestream where the devs will talk about our new winter wonderland!
