PUBG 2025 Roadmap: What's Next for Mobile?

Today, Krafton unveiled an exciting roadmap for PUBG's future in 2025, signaling major advancements and a shift to Unreal Engine 5, alongside moves to current-gen consoles and high-profile collaborations. While this roadmap primarily focuses on PUBG, it's the implications for PUBG Mobile that have caught our attention, so let's delve deeper.

It's crucial to clarify that this roadmap is tailored specifically for PUBG, yet it incorporates elements that have already transitioned to the mobile version, such as the introduction of the new Rondo map. However, one particular aspect that piqued our interest is the mention of a more "unified experience" moving forward.

Currently, this unified experience is centered around modes within PUBG. However, it's not far-fetched to envision a broader integration on the horizon, possibly leading to a complete unification of PUBG and PUBG Mobile, or at least the introduction of crossplay-compatible modes in the future.

Enter the battlegroundsIt's also noteworthy that the roadmap emphasizes a stronger focus on UGC (user-generated content), mirroring the emphasis seen in PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. The introduction of a PUBG UGC project that enables content sharing among players is a key highlight, drawing parallels to initiatives seen in competitors like Fortnite.

This leads us to speculate about a potential fusion of the two PUBG versions. While it's currently speculative, the roadmap clearly outlines a significant push forward for PUBG, and it's likely that PUBG Mobile will see similar developments in 2025.

The main challenge could lie in the adoption of Unreal Engine 5, a new engine that would require PUBG Mobile to adapt accordingly.
