PUBG Corp outlined the game's roadmap for the year and introduced plans for a major remastering of Miramar. The map had already undergone minor tweaks to bring it in line with the game's other arenas, but update 12.1 will bring major rework to the desert map's lighting, performance, graphical fidelity, and terrain.

"The terrain, building textures, and layout will be significantly revamped, unnecessary obstacles will be removed for easier traversing, and cliffs will be updated as the game becomes more vertical," PUBG Corp wrote.

However, the developer also teased two new maps, codenamed "Tiger" and "Kiki."

"Tiger" is the next big map to be added after the "Miramar" remaster and will finally introduce respawns to PUBG's battle royale. in "Apex Legends Introduced and then taken down by "Fortnite," "PUBG" will finally introduce its own respawn system.
