PUBG Mobile new update: What’s coming?
As usual, Krafton will add a new Royale Pass to the game with the new update. The developer is expected to introduce new gameplay mechanics as well. A special themed mode will be added to Classic games on Erangel, bringing a ‘mysterious floating Mirror Island.’
“Early in the game, Mirror Island can be explored by players for supplies. However, as the game continues, Mirror Island will activate and become extremely unstable. Players who come in contact with the Wind Wall will be transported to either Piltover or Zaun, two iconic cities from League of Legends. Players who land on the activated Mirror Island will also be able to transform into the iconic champions Jinx, Vi, Jayce, or Caitlyn, and use unique weapons and skills to battle against other players. Defeated players return to Erangel in their original form, Krafton said.
The new update has been confirmed to include League of Legends elements, from characters to gameplay. To make it interesting, the crossover will have Enforcers, Firelights, and Berserkers entering the BR universe.
“All the fan favourite modes brought back in Version 1.6 are set to remain playable in the Version 1.7 update. Metro Royale: Reunion, Vikendi, Payload 2.0, Runic Power, Survive Till Dawn, and Infection Mode will all be playable at certain times of the week,” Krafton mentioned.
While the popular BR title is banned in India, players in the region can head for the PUBG Mobile Indian avatar BGMI that is expected to get the update simultaneously.
