When Sanhok was added to PUBG: Battlegrounds all the way back in 2018, it became a polarising force in the community. It was the first 4x4km map the community experienced, and with its dynamic circle, and thick, green jungle, it played very differently to matches on Erangel and Miramar. Because of the divide, Krafton started with the odd nip and tuck here and there to appease the community - but after a while, the map was unrecognisable.
However, Krafton has since seen the error of its ways, and the original map will be making a return to PUBG in next week's 17.1 update. The return was originally announced in the PUBG 2022 roadmap, after the developers noted that "continuous monitor of our players voices has made us realise the reworked Sanhok was not producing the anticipated, positive gameplay experience."
As of April 13 for PC players and April 21 for console players, this overgrown paradise will be able to play in its original form once again.
