PUBG: Battlegrounds To Bring Back Original Erangel Map

Date:

Much to the delight of the long-time fans of PUBG : Battlegrounds, PUBG’s original Erangel map is making a comeback for a limited two-week period, with “nostalgic” visuals and vintage balance, according to Krafton.

On May 14, Erangel Classic will be available as part of the battle royale update 29.2. 

PUBG’s first battlefield, Erangel, is recreated in this iteration, which is “designed to evoke nostalgia for players who remember the early access days.”

When PUBG went live on Steam in early access in March 2017, it quickly gained enormous popularity. A wave of immensely successful battle royale games, including Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Apex Legends, quickly followed the popularity of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. 

PUBG is still one of the most popular games on Steam, typically coming in second only to Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2, both developed by Valve.

Erangel’s Return To PUBG: Battlegrounds

Erangel Classic, according to Krafton, “blends current gameplay elements with the original concepts and atmosphere of Erangel at the time of its first release to provide a unique old-school experience.” 

Erangel Classic has iconic components from the original Erangel map. Here is Krafton’s official statement:

“Upon entering Erangel Classic, players will find that benches have returned, with weapons placed on them across the starting island. The gunplay balance has also been adjusted to capture the feel of the early days, with the recoil of all weapons, except for a few, being reduced. Players can also find the Tommy Gun in the Care Package, just like in the old days. Additionally, players will be able to experience foggy and rainy weather, as well as graphics, world map, and a minimap that call back to the original PUBG: Battlegrounds release.”

For a brief while, players may enjoy Erangel Classic in Normal Match. It will be accessible from May 14 through May 28 on PC and from May 23 through June 6 on consoles. 

Erangel Classic, the current Erangel map in Normal Match, will take its place at this time.
