PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean video game company Bluehole.
The game is based on previous modes that were created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games using the film Battle Royale for inspiration and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves.
The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.
Earlier in the day, PUBG MOBILE got the highly anticipated 0.10.5 update. For the last couple of weeks, it was anticipated that the game would get the much-awaited zombie mode with this update. However, the update was released and there was no sign of the zombie mode.
While media reports speculated that the zombies would come to PUBG MOBILE at a later date, Tencent Games has taken to Twitter to announce more stuff related to Resident Evil 2. And fans of the series will easily understand this – zombies are inbound for PUBG MOBILE.
In a separate tweet, the developers reached out to the players stating future content additions to the game. "In order to celebrate the highly anticipated Resident Evil 2 coming out on January 25, we are celebrating now with Duos event! We look forward to the full release of the collaboration content later this month and can't wait to share more with you!
Resident Evil 2 is one of the highly anticipated games for those who love the idea of hunting down zombies. Tencent Games announced its collaboration with RE Games a few months ago for bringing Resident Evil stuff to PUBG MOBILE.
Several players have been reported zombie sighting across the Erangel map for a while. There are certain areas where live zombie props can be seen.
The zombie mode is already live on the PC version of PUBG. The gameplay mode here makes it compulsory for most players to play as zombies and try to kill a small number of players armed with weapons, who are on to hunt down zombies.
It remains to be seen how the zombie mode in PUBG MOBILE will fair out. Considering the technical limitations, it seems that Tencent could bring a simple arcade-style zombie shooter mode.
The new zombie mode could either come to the game in the form of a server-side update or a major APK overhaul. The current update, version 0.10.5, brings some improvements to the loot distribution in Vikendi as well as a new weapon.
The Royal Pass season 5 is also live on the servers. The update also brings the new Mk47 rifle to the game. Players can use the weapon in all the maps Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok and Vikendi.
