PUBG: Battlegrounds Update Bringing Back Original Sanhok

gamerant.com:

Sanhok is perhapsPUBG: Battlegrounds' most controversial map. The map was introduced in 2018 as PUBG's first 4x4-sized map, the smallest the game had at the time. The map was criticized for its low visibility and dense foliage, but it was also the most played PUBG map for some time after its release. Sanhok has since gone through a massive overhaul, which has only made the map all the more controversial. Perhaps in response to negative feedback, Krafton is now going to re-release Sanhok with many of those changes reverted.

Krafton says that Sanhok is going to be returned to its «original glory» as part of PUBG: Battlegrounds' upcoming 17.1 update. This was previously announced as part of the development team's 2022 Dev Plan, but the update and its content are now being confirmed. Further, those interested in seeing what PUBG: Battlegrounds' changes to Sanhok look like can try it out on the battle royale's PC test server starting today.

Here's what will be changing as part of the Sanhok overhaul. To start, several additions from the 2020 rework are being removed. That includes the Loot Truck, the Decoy Grenade, and the Jammer Pack. As for content that was previously removed and will be returning, Sanhok's lobster-shaped Bootcamp, as well as the Docks, Ruins, and Quarry are all making a comeback. Further, Sanhok will once again embrace its previous jungle theme.

The new Sanhok won't be an exact replica of the original map, obviously. Too much time has passed and too much has changed, both for Sanhok and for PUBG, to truly go back to the way things were. Still, Krafton is hoping that these changes will make Sanhok appealing in a way that it hasn't been since the rework. Krafton wants
