The test servers will be home to a lot of tweaks to gameplay as well. Bullets don't currently penetrate through limbs or vehicles, but this mechanic will be tested out soon. This in an attempt to add depth to the ballistic system and to make the game feel more realistic. He reassures players that they will be listening especially closely to player feedback on that one.
In the latest blog post from PlayerUnknown himself, the road-map the company is looking at for the upcoming year has been detailed . The goals include everything from game modes and maps, to weapons, vehicles and emotes.
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun
First, though, he mentioned updates. The team is committing to more frequent updates, with big content delivery coming every two months, and smaller updates coming more frequently. The big ones will make changes to systems or drop content, where smaller updates will focus on bugs. Aesthetics will be updated now and again as well. Bluehole will also launch an Experimental Test Server to help get feedback from players on future content.
Today's 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.'s lack of dedication to these pl
Content is king, so it should be no surprise that planned additions to the game were the most prominent part of the PUBG roadmap. First up is a brand new 4x4 kilometer map, a quarter of the size of Erangel and Miramar, designed for faster, action-packed rounds. This small map will come to a new Experimental Test Server in April, but a second, standard-sized 8x8 map is also in development for a 2018 release, but is not yet ready to be sh
The new and much smaller 4x4 km island map will be released on the test server in April. It is meant to give a shorter, more intense experience with the same number of players. An 8x8 km map is also on the way to the test servers.
Outside of direct gameplay changes, PUBG updates Corp. is still hard at work. In-game achievements and a friends list, as well as squad voice chat, are each going to be added in 2018. And server stability, connection speeds, and dealing with cheaters remains the studio's first priority in 2
The highly anticipated 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been delivered, detailing planned additions and changes for the battle royale game for the upcoming year. The lengthy roadmap broadly covers PUBG Corp.'s agenda, including forthcoming content additions, system reworks, and even thoughts regarding PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' eSports sc
2018 will bring new looks and sounds to Battlegrounds as well. They'll be working on overhauling their animation systems, which will make things look smoother and more realistic. Some buildings, plant life and other environmental assets will be reworked, and customizable parachutes and weapon skins are also on the docket. In terms of sound, the focus will be on greater detail when it comes to vehicles and on-foot movement. Driving will sound more realistic with suspension and skidding sounds, as well as environmental differences like weather and road conditions that will change how the wheels sounds against the ground. While on foot, they want to make it so that your movement noises will sound different depending on what you're carrying. They're also planning to change the way guns sound depending on your POV and changing how your character's breath sounds depending on whether you are running, aiming or holding your breath.
It seems like a lot for one year, but with the amount of people still playing PUBG and the boom that is happening right now in the battle royale scene, PlayerUnknown and the team at Bluehole are in for some stiff competition and they'll have to work hard if they want to keep up.
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti
