The year kicks off with Metro Royale Chapter 24 in January, introducing a new game mode and enhanced gameplay mechanics, including revamped blue zones and airdrop systems.
March 2025 marks PUBG Mobile's 7th anniversary, themed around the "Hourglass," symbolizing time and transformation. This anniversary celebration will feature the return of beloved features like the Floating Island and the Time Reversal skill, alongside a nostalgic aesthetic featuring golden sands and classic designs.
Also launching in March is the Rondo map, an 8x8 km battleground inspired by Asian architecture and urban landscapes. Optimized for mobile, this visually stunning map, originally from PUBG: Battlegrounds, offers new challenges and exciting gameplay. For players seeking similar experiences, a curated list of the best Android battle royales is available.
The World of Wonder mode continues its success, boasting over 3.3 million player-created maps. Increased resources and rewards are being invested to further empower creativity and community engagement. The Nexstar Program partnership offers further opportunities for creative players.
