PUBG Mobile unveils exciting plans for 2025, following the successful conclusion of the 2024 PUBG Mobile Global Championship. The new year promises a wealth of updates, including new game modes, map additions, anniversary celebrations, and a significant investment in esports.
Kicking off in January is Metro Royale Chapter 24, featuring a revamped gameplay experience with enhanced blue zones and an improved airdrop system.
March 2025 marks PUBG Mobile's 7th anniversary, themed around the "Hourglass," symbolizing time and transformation. This anniversary will include the return of popular features like the Floating Island and the introduction of a new Time Reversal skill. Expect a nostalgic feel with the return of classic designs and golden sands.
Also launching in March is the Rondo map, an 8x8 km battleground inspired by Asian architecture and urban settings. Originally from PUBG: Battlegrounds, Rondo is optimized for mobile devices, offering visually stunning environments and fresh challenges.
The World of Wonder creative mode continues to flourish, boasting over 3.3 million player-created maps. PUBG Mobile is increasing investment in this mode, providing more resources and rewards to fuel player creativity. The Nexstar Program partnership offers further opportunities for creative players.
Finally, PUBG Mobile is significantly boosting its esports scene in 2025, with over $10 million dedicated to prize pools, female-focused competitions, and third-party tournaments. This substantial investment aims to foster growth at all levels of competition.
