PUBG will take a nostalgia-infused trip back to its first map in May


PUBG: Battlegrounds is somehow old enough to evoke nostalgia. The pioneering battle royale game will recreate the old-school battlefield from the game’s inception for a limited two-week run in May and June.

Developer and publisher Krafton says the Erangel Classic map will reproduce the original’s concepts, graphics, atmosphere and UI. Specific nods to the original map include foggy and rainy weather to add an air of unpredictability. The tiered rollout will arrive on PCs and consoles at different times, extending the playtime for those who own the game on multiple platforms (perhaps helping Krafton sell a few extra in-game items).
