PUBG

Over the past few days, Krafton has officially unveiled Deston, the new PUBG map. The Battle Royale, one of the first to appear on this market, will receive the new playground during the summer, as announced directly by the developer. Deston will be the ninth map in the game, as well as the first after Tango, released in 2021.



As reported by the development, the new PUBG map will be available starting July 13, 2022. The announcement came with a short trailer, but a very in-depth first look is available on the game's official website. Going to this address, in fact, it is possible to have a preview of the map, with the points of interest and the areas that will certainly be more populated by loot and players.


PUBG debuted in 2017, initially in the Early Access version, and immediately established itself as one of the most successful multiplayer games. Its landing on PC has opened the doors to conversions for PlayStation and Xbox consoles. After a period of growth, its popularity had stalled, but the recent free-to-play move convinced several players to return to the game, as well as invite new ones who for the first time had never gotten to the particular Battle Royale. . Now the game is kept on its feet thanks to a system of microtransactions and a Battle Pass, elements that seem to have become the standard in most multiplayer games, whether they are competitive or not.

Krafton confirmed the PUBG Deston map with a brief announcement trailer and a livestream, with a more in-depth look at the multiplayer game’s ninth location now available on the Deston website – including the map itself. It promises a lot more than the massive city of Ripton, with new features like Fortnite-style ascender ropes, airboats, and a permanent parachute ability.


The new PUBG map Deston will release on July 13. More details and the exact release time will be available closer to this date. Krafton adds that there will also be a Deston Survivor Pass available on this date too.


You can check out the teaser trailer below.


Deston is described as having been ruined and abandoned after a hurricane, with large parts of the 8×8 map flooded and requiring an airboat to get around. Locations include the large city of Ripton, a dam, a wind turbine plant, a swamp, a now-much-more-deadly paintball arena, and a concert venue featuring a giant inflatable chicken. You can try it out for yourself in July.


PUBG has seen a surge in popularity since going free-to-play in January, and the game’s ranked season 18.1 is going on right now.
