The 2025 PUBG roadmap is out, and it hints at exciting possibilities for PUBG Mobile. Krafton's ambitious plans include a transition to Unreal Engine 5, next-gen console support, and high-profile collaborations. While the roadmap focuses on the main PUBG game, many updates, like the new Rondo map, have already trickled down to mobile. A key takeaway is the emphasis on a "unified experience" across different game modes.
This "unified experience" currently refers to in-game modes, but it suggests a larger vision. Could this mean a future merging of the mobile and main game experiences, or perhaps the introduction of cross-play compatible modes? Only time will tell.
Interestingly, the roadmap highlights a stronger push for User-Generated Content (UGC), mirroring the success of PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. The initiative to enable content sharing between players draws parallels to competitors like Fortnite, hinting at potential future developments.
The increased focus on UGC and a unified experience raises the question: could a fusion of the mobile and main PUBG experiences be on the horizon? While it's speculative, the roadmap strongly suggests significant changes are coming to PUBG, and PUBG Mobile is likely to see similar evolutions in 2025.
A potential hurdle is the planned adoption of Unreal Engine 5. Implementing this new engine across all platforms, including mobile, would be a significant undertaking. However, given Krafton's ambition, it's a challenge they may well overcome.
