Karachi – Aug 5, 2020 –Under a mysterious ancient civilization theme, PUBG MOBILE unveils a new Ancient Secret Mode update, bringing players all-new in-game events and exclusive rewards. Similarly, fresh, fast-paced content arrives in the form of the new Arena gameplay – Team Gun Game and Library map in the hit Arena playlist. Players can experience the new mode and updates starting today in PUBG MOBILE.
Ancient Secret Special Mode
The new Ancient Secret themed gameplay can be selected from the main menu via the Mode Selection screen. Players who activate the new mode can observe and explore an ominous “Ancient Secret” building rising on Miramar and Erangel. This massive two-story structure begins each game at ground-level, but then begins to float and follow the play circle.
In addition to the ancient structure, players can experience the following features through the new game mode:
- New Boss Battle – A secretive boss awaits in a sealed room on the second floor of the structure, hiding rich rewards for players that defeat it in combat.
- Small Ruins Environment – Players can traverse tiny ruins that spawn randomly throughout the map, concealing crates and puzzles
- Slate puzzle – Players can now test their merit with a new interactive Ancient Slate puzzle.
To immerse players in the new environment, the fresh and stylish Golden Pharaoh X-Suit Outfit set is also available to unlock, alongside additional Warrior of Ra, Warrior of Nut, Underworld Guide, and Mummy costumes. For the first time, outfits can be upgraded up to six levels to access additional benefits, including:
- Outfit appearance upgrade
- Exclusive entry emotes
- Outfit-exclusive lobby emotes
- Teammate interaction emotes and item sharing.
- Spawn Island and kill announcement special effects
Each outfit set includes a unique and exclusive Treasure Create that players can unlock for additional rewards, including Pharaoh Coins to exchange for other outfits, materials to upgrade Golden Pharaoh X-Suit, and more. Players can also make lucky draws by using UC or Silver Fragments.
New Arena Gameplay
The all-new Team Gun Game offers four vs. four gameplay with Arena mode starting weapons. As players defeat opponents, their guns are gradually upgraded. The first team to use the final gun, the notorious pan, claims the Chicken Dinner. Team Gun Game is available to play every weekend, from Friday to Sunday.
Players can also enjoy Team Gun Game on the all-new Library map. As the first-ever indoor plan in PUBG MOBILE, Library boasts an asymmetrical layout with three assault routes: left, right, and center. Unique positions on platforms, in doorways or behind bookshelves offer competitors advantages for strategic positioning and provides players with weaker weapons a fighting chance.
In addition to the new Team Gun Game mode and Library map, today’s content update delivers several additional features, including:
