Here's what's coming to PUBG in 2022

eurogamer.net:

PUGB — the original, and now free-to-play, battle royale — has unveiled its 2022 roadmap.

Oh, and it's still keeping back a surprise or two, too.

As for what's coming up? Though succinct, the roadmap divides its plans into the categories «world», «ingame», and «outgame». In the next few weeks, we should get a Sanhok rollback — it's coming back «in its original form» — weapon balancing, and unspecified quality of life improvements that «reduce inconvenience without affecting core gameplay». There's a new gun, too — the new 7.62mm assault rifle that has a lower DPS than other ARs but is easier to control.

Next quarter — July through to September, roughly — should see the release of new map Kiki, more weapon balancing, and «weapon mastery overhaul, customisation improvement, and BP income balancing. And then the last quarter of 2022 sees Vikendi „reborn“ and a Kiki update. We'll also get an overhaul of the arcade mode, improvements to the shop, an unspecified „new social feature“, and shop gifting, which is the feature I'm probably most excited about.

»Through the years, you all have stood with us as a constant reminder of how fortunate we have been in our successes but also a humbling reminder that there is always work to do. Many companies say it, but we hope you believe us when we say we're
