KRAFTON Inc. has announced that the “Classic Erangel” map will be making a comeback to PUBG with the game’s 29.2 update.
The “Classic Erangel” map is the original state of PUBG’s Erangel and holds a special place in the hearts of long-time players as the birthplace of their gaming journey. The design intention of this classic version is to allow nostalgic players to relive the past. It combines the original theme and atmosphere of Erangel with contemporary gameplay elements, offering a unique and enjoyable experience for both old and new players.
Iconic elements from the original Erangel have been incorporated into “Classic Erangel.” Players will once again encounter the nostalgic spawn island wooden table, where weapons can be found upon entering the classic map. To evoke the early PUBG experience, weapon balance has been adjusted, with reduced recoil for all firearms except a select few, and even the Tommy Gun available in supply crates. Additionally, players can enjoy battles in foggy and rainy weather conditions, reminiscing the earlier days of the game. Both the large and small maps will evoke a familiar feeling.
After the 29.2 update, players will have limited-time access to the “Classic Erangel” map in the normal match mode. For PC players, the event will run from May 14th to May 28th, while for console players, it will be available from May 23rd to June 6th. During this period, all new Erangel matches in the normal mode will be replaced by “Classic Erangel.”
