Over the last year or so, the Battle Royale genre has exploded in popularity thanks, in part, to PUBG Mobile. But it’s not the only popular game in the genre and it faces stiff competition from Fortnite and the recently released Call of Duty Mobile. To keep the player base interested, developer Tencent Games keeps adding new content to the game with each successive update. Most recently, the game received a new Payload Mode with helicopters and the Desert Eagle handgun. And now, Tencent has released patch notes for the next major update.
PUBG Mobile version 0.15.5 will start rolling out to players on November 8th and will kick off Royale Pass Season 10 with a new “Fury of the Wasteland” theme. As part of the update, the game is set to receive a new team deathmatch map called Ruins, a new SMG and vehicle exclusive to Vikendi, the companion system that we saw previously in a beta release, and a new character for the EVO modes. Here are the concise patch notes for the update, along with some additional information:
- Royale Pass Season 10: Fury of the Wasteland
