Rondo Mondo: Unveil the Secrets of PUBG’s Newest Map

Epic Evolution of a Battle Royale Titan

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS isn’t just a game; it’s a phenomenon that has consistently reshaped the battle royale landscape, redefined the genre, and continues to evolve. We had an in-depth chat with Cece Lee, who leads the community and social media team at KRAFTON Americas, to get some perspective on the journey from the game’s humble beginnings to its current dominance—a journey that has been nothing short of extraordinary.

This trajectory is fueled by an unwavering commitment to enhancing gameplay, graphics, and overall player experience. Today, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS stands as a testament to what continuous refinement and community engagement can achieve in the gaming world. With its free-to-play model, the game has opened its doors wider, welcoming a new wave of players. What’s the secret to the game’s success? Cece tells us, “Our team creates fun content and events […] establishing a healthy feedback loop to bridge the gap between our players and the dev team.”

December Delights: Unveiling RONDO

The new December update to the game is poised to be a landmark event for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Cece shared details about the new, expansive 8×8 map, RONDO, that will blend traditional and modern landscapes, creating a battlefield rich in diversity and tactical opportunities. This map is a brand new canvas for players, where they can engage in urban warfare amidst skyscrapers, or strategize in a landscape of serene lakes and bamboo groves. Adding the JS9 submachine gun to the game’s arsenal is set to shake up combat strategies, as well, as players find new ways to engage in the fight for survival.

Forged by the Community

KRAFTON’s approach to developing PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS heavily involves community feedback. As Cece says, “A huge part of our job is to gather player feedback and share our regional voice with our dev team.” The team at KRAFTON gathers player insights through social media, forums, and surveys, ensuring that the updates resonate with the players’ desires. This approach has led to significant adjustments, such as weapon rebalancing and removing Tactical Gear, directly addressing the community’s concerns. This level of responsiveness underscores KRAFTON’s dedication to keeping players at the core of the game’s evolution.

Performance at its Peak

Performance optimization is paramount, particularly for PC gamers. Cece tells us, “[KRAFTON’s] collaboration with Intel is essential to helping optimize the PC experience for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS.” It translates into smoother gameplay, quicker load times, and an overall enhanced gaming experience for players with Intel hardware. Looking ahead, the team at KRAFTON is committed to elevating the game ever higher. So, what’s next for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS? “We always approach that question with a simple answer,” says Cece. “Take the lessons we’ve learned over the past six years, and make the game better.” The future of PUBG: Battlegrounds looks bright, and the game is set to maintain its momentum with engaging content and ongoing performance improvements. The immediate focus, however, is on the successful rollout of the Rondo map.

With PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS currently at its peak, there’s never been a better time for loyal fans and newcomers alike to explore its vast territories. Cece encourages everyone: “Our community made us who we are today… To those who haven’t tried the game yet, we can’t wait to see you on the battlegrounds.” It’s one of the top-selling games of all time, and holds the record for Steam’s highest concurrent player count. These milestones are not just numbers; they represent the countless hours of entertainment, competition, and community-building that PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS has fostered over the years.
