I am at our new @PUBATTLEGROUNDS workplace in Madison as we speak. The staff is engaged on our desert map. Here’s a WIP preview of this new location… pic.twitter.com/ReLbsvwv9A

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is getting a brand new desert map, and the eponymous inventive director has shared some preview photos.
It appears to be like good, – very desert-like, as you’d hope – however what’s actually obtained individuals speaking is the obvious inclusion of a bicycle in one of many screenshots. Maybe it’s only a prop, or possibly it means ridable bicycles are coming to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
This has impressed an excessive amount of chat not simply because bikes are a terrific inclusion for a sport like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (they’re a really stealthy car selection), but additionally as a result of the standalone launch of DayZ doesn’t have bikes, and that is such a sore level in the neighborhood that there’s a joke Twitter account devoted fully to it.

Bikes have been accessible within the unique DayZ mod, and Bohemia has referenced their eventual inclusion within the standalone launch. Unfortunately DayZ’s standalone launch has turn into one thing of a byword for very gradual growth, having been in Early Access for about three and a half years whereas arguably failing to succeed in the usual set by the mod, so goodness is aware of when bikes will truly flip up.
In any case, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds appears to be like prone to one-up its rival on this regard sooner relatively than later. No phrase but on when the brand new map will arrive, alas.
In a few months, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has grown into one of the biggest games of 2017, with 4 million sales beneath its scavenged belt. Near constant patching and updates make it one of many best-supported video games of its type and has gained it nice acclaim from a playerbase uninterested in early entry survival initiatives dropping the ball.
Missed all of this? The excellent news is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is coming to consoles, so hopefully a good bigger viewers can be part of the search for rooster dinners.
