PUBG Mobile unveils exciting plans for 2025, following the successful conclusion of the 2024 PUBG Mobile Global Championship. The new year promises a wealth of new content, gameplay enhancements, and a significant boost to esports initiatives.
Kicking off in January is Metro Royale Chapter 24, featuring a revamped gameplay mode with refined mechanics, including enhanced blue zones and an improved airdrop system.
March 2025 marks PUBG Mobile's 7th anniversary, themed around the "Hourglass," symbolizing time and transformation. This anniversary celebration will introduce the Time Reversal skill and bring back beloved features like the Floating Island, alongside a nostalgic aesthetic featuring golden sands and classic designs.
Also launching in March is the Rondo map—an 8x8 km battleground inspired by traditional Asian architecture and urban landscapes. Originally from PUBG: Battlegrounds, Rondo is optimized for mobile devices, offering visually stunning environments and fresh challenges. Looking for similar mobile experiences?
