August 24, 2017 by Jordan Coetsee

Pack your snipers for this one.

There’s a new battlefield coming to the third-person shooter, PLAYERUNKNOWN’S Battlegrounds, and it seems likes it’s going to be super unforgiving.

Creative director Brendan Greene revealed the map during PUBG keynote a Gamescom, the new map will be a dense city centre in a desert area. There will be minimal foliage but loads of high rise buildings perfect for sneaky sniping. The map will feature a primary and secondary downtown, a stadium in the city, and villages around the city area.

If you want to start familiarising yourself with the new map, here’s a rough sketch of what you’ll be able to expect:

In other news, Bluehole Studios have recently hit an amazing milestone, the studio boasts over 8 million PUBG copies sold – and that’s on PC alone.
