About Erangel 2.0

There’s an interesting back-story behind the new update on the Erangel map. The official team revealed this:

Erangel, the heart of PUBG MOBILE, is a fictional island in the black sea abandoned near Russia where a military occupation was controlling it. The military occupation tested chemical/biological experiments on the local populace. After a resistance attack on a biological facility, the island had to be abandoned.

What changes will be there in Erangel 2.0 from the previous map?

The first idea of introducing Erangel 2.0 in PUBG Mobile has come from the developers’ urge to bring the oldest map Erangel to the same level of polish as the recent maps like Vikendi or Livik. The process started way back with an initial rework of the landscape, the buildings and the map structure. The buildings in Erangel 2.0 look elder than the original map, as if all of those have gone through a war or something similar. The amount and length of grasses all over the map has also increased. Some notable changes in Erangel 2.0:

1. Upgraded graphics
2. Building adjustments
3. Adjustments to large resource points: Mylta Power/Quarry/Prison/Other Play Zone
4. New map elements: Added trenches, wooden barricades, abandoned tanks…
5. Building structure changes

The Erangel 2.0 in PUBG Mobile also comes up with improved gaming experience for the players. That’s what took the devs so much of time, according to the official team. However, Erangel 2.0 is finally coming to beta, and players must be excited to finally get a sneak peek at some of the other improvements PUBGM had in the works so far.

The Erangel 2.0 was launched in PUBG Mobile’s Chinese version, Game for Peace in June 2020, you can check out the trailer of the update to take a quick look as the visual changes are going to be fairly similar in the global version of PUBG Mobile.
