Today, Krafton unveiled the roadmap for PUBG in 2025, and it's packed with exciting developments. From transitioning to Unreal Engine 5 to targeting current-gen consoles and forging more high-profile collaborations, PUBG is set for a transformative year. However, it's the implications for PUBG Mobile that have caught our attention, so let's dive deeper into what this might mean.
It's crucial to note that this roadmap focuses on PUBG itself, yet many of the announced changes, such as the introduction of the new map Rondo, have already made their way to the mobile version. What really piqued our interest was the mention of a more "unified experience" moving forward.
Currently, this unified experience is aimed at enhancing the consistency across different modes within PUBG. However, it's not far-fetched to speculate that this could eventually lead to a broader unification, possibly integrating elements of PUBG and PUBG Mobile or even introducing crossplay-compatible modes in the future.
It's also noteworthy that the roadmap emphasizes a stronger focus on UGC (user-generated content), a trend we've already seen in PUBG Mobile with the World of Wonder mode. The launch of the PUBG UGC project, which allows content sharing among players, mirrors initiatives seen in competitors like Fortnite, suggesting potential goals for PUBG's future.
Could we be heading towards a fusion of the two PUBG versions? It's a possibility, though currently, we're reading between the lines. This roadmap clearly outlines a significant push for PUBG's development in 2025, and it's likely that PUBG Mobile will see similar advancements.
A major hurdle could be the adoption of Unreal Engine 5, which would necessitate a similar upgrade for PUBG Mobile to maintain consistency across platforms.
