'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' (ALL) Season 7 Will Bring Back Revamped Vikendi Map

PUBG: Battlegrounds expands the core Battle Royale experience into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a vivid open world.

Welcome to the ultimate battle for life and death

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will expand the core Battle Royale experience enjoyed by millions of players into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a dynamic open world. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will put up to 64 players on a remote island for a winner-takes-all showdown where strategic gameplay is as important as shooting skills. Players will enter a last-man-standing battle where they try to locate weapons, vehicles and supplies in a graphically and tactically rich battleground that eventually forces players into a shrinking safe area as they engage in a tense and spectacular fight to the death.

When the match starts, players have no items or weapons. To progress, they can try to commandeer a vehicle to discover a high-value location, search for weapons or employ other diversified tactics with a goal of being the last man standing. All weapons can be upgraded with attachments such as sights and suppressors and both road and off-road vehicles will be available to players.

Kill or be killed in a fight to be the last man standing.


PUBG Corporation is bringing an island back after a little time off with the return of Vikendi in PUBG Season 7. Players can experience the new looks for Dinoland and the Cosmodrome areas, plus a nonstop railroad circuit for free as part of the 7.1 update. The Survivor Pass: Cold Front premium upgrade rewards the hardiest players with limited-edition weapon skins, costumes, and more goodies that hint at Vikendi’s turbulent past with the Lindh family.

The train system running through Vikendi puts mobility in PUBG on the fast track to conflict. The opportunities for ambushes, quick escapes, trick shots, and more are endless as players learn the timing and angles of the train lines. The Dinoland-themed passenger line and the heavy-duty cargo line each have different routes and unique engine/car configurations that will offer plenty of advantages and options for sharp players as Season 7 unfolds.

The story of Vikendi will take shape through Survivor Pass: Cold Front as players unlock bits of the Lindh family’s plans for the island. Horseback riding gear and battered mascot costumes cover both the Lindhs’ posh upbringing and the broken dreams that follow poor planning and naked ambition. Dinoland was supposed to be the centerpiece of a vacation paradise that would sprawl all over the island, but dangerous family dynamics brought it all crashing down.

When dinosaurs “win” and take over the island in the movies, they go from villains to heroes in an instant. When Vikendi suddenly becomes a battleground with players dropping in by the dozens, what does that make them?

The next chapter in PUBG opens up April 21 on PC and April 28 on consoles with the 7.1 update. For those that want to experience the action right away, the PC Test Server is open today! Your Fight. Your Story. Your Battlegrounds.
