PUBG Team Considered Bringing Back OG Bugs for Erangel Classic Event
In a The Best War Games interview, PUBG's Taehyun Kim explains how the team considered bringing back old lovable bugs in the Erangel Classic event.
Now, PUBG has announced the return of the popular Fantasy Battle Royale mode, offering a unique battle royale experience with four distinct classes: Barbarian, Ranger, Wizard, and Paladin. For those unfamiliar with the classes, the Barbarian dominates in close-quarters battles, wielding a longsword; the Ranger focuses on precision attacks from a distance using the Dragonslayer crossbow; the Wizard can devastate enemies with fire spells; and the Paladin plays a supportive role by healing and aiding teammates. In this mode, players will engage in combat on Dragon’s Isle (Erangel) in teams of four, with matches accommodating up to 80 participants.
How Long Will the Fantasy Battle Royale Mode Be Available?
- The Fantasy Battle Royale mode will last for two weeks on PC, from July 24 to August 7, and on Consoles from July 31 to August 14.
This return is likely to be welcomed by fans who enjoyed the Fantasy Battle Royale mode during its initial run and have been anticipating its comeback. It's also worth noting that this revival follows the reintroduction of the original Erangel map in May, featuring classic in-game elements.
These ongoing updates reflect PUBG’s commitment to its 2024 roadmap, which includes promises of combat updates every two months. Additionally, the studio is taking further steps to enhance the gaming experience; for example, in March, PUBG announced that it had banned 3.2 million cheaters in 2023, marking a 33% increase from the previous year.
