December 16, 2020 PUBG Season 10 is now live for PC players. Original story (with a new peek at the season's skins) follows.
PUBG Season 10 is fast approaching, and its first patch has landed on the battle royale game's test servers for a round of, well, testing. The PUBG 10.1 update is kicking off the new season with a bang, too - there's a brand-new map called Haven on the way, along with a new enemy faction "offering an entirely new gameplay element not seen in existing Battlegrounds", survivor pass, and more.
As detailed in the multiplayer game's test server notes, Haven is "an industrial island in the rust belt of America". It pits players against each other in the streets and rooftops of a "dense, 1×1 urban map" which can support up to 32 players at once, in either Duos or one-man Duos modes. Its various regions include carbon steelworks with loot lurking in its "fiery depths" and "gunplay at all ranges" and coal yards ("a sniper's paradise!"), as well as industrial and residential zones, an overpass, and docks.
It's a seasonal map, so will only be available for the duration of PUBG's tenth season, and its match length is shorter than most other maps' offerings. "You'll earn around 70% of the BP compared to a full-length match on another map," PUBG Corp. says.
