PUBG's New Map RONDO Now Live!

A brand-new era begins today in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, developed by KRAFTON! With the 27.1 update, the doors to RONDO, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' tenth map, are now open to players. The map is live on PC right now, and will arrive on consoles on December 14.

PRESENTING RONDO – PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' BIGGEST MAP YET

Also known as The Ground of Honor, RONDO is an 8x8 map with the largest playable area of any map to date. Split into two distinct regions, this vast map has a unique atmosphere that blends familiar gameplay with innovative strategic approaches. Built on PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' DROP, LOOT, SURVIVE foundations, this massive map arrives with a new narrative and expanded options, promising an exciting, dynamic gameplay experience with new features and content in every match.

RONDO features a wide range of terrain, from the calm lakes and bamboo groves stretching across its southwest to the pronounced hills in its northeast. Key areas like the lush greenery of Yu Lin village, the waterfall-filled scenery of Tin Long Garden, or Mey Ran's riverside architecture offer players a variety of strategic options. Similarly, Jadena City's skyscrapers and neon-lit streets promise intense urban warfare, while the NEOX Factory is set up for unique showdowns. Additional areas like Rin Jiang, Jao Tin, and the Stadium each bring their own distinct challenges for players. The map's innovative features include destructible bamboo and an additional starting plane that opens the door to unexpected landings. RONDO also adds the JS9, an ideal 9mm SMG for close-quarters combat.
