Hey everyone.

A few days ago we told you that Call of Duty Mobile completed 10 Million+ pre-registrations on Google Playstore.

You can read the article here - PUBG MOBILE ERA IS COMING TO AN END AS CALL OF DUTY MOBILE MAKES A NEW RECORD!!!

The news that was the courtesy of the official "Call of Duty News" twitter handle resulted in a wave of gossips regarding how one of the most popular (if not the most popular) mobile game, PUBG Mobile will be dethroned by Call of Duty Mobile once the latter is released.

Seems like PUBG Corp. was taking notes and will not go down without a fight. The developers are restlessly working on new updates to keep the game appealing to the users over time.

So Let's take a look at everything new that has been added in the latest Chinese Beta update.

Special Thanks to Mr.Ghost Gaming (Link to his channel) for making this possible. All the credits go to him. Do Subscribe to his channel.

PUBG MOBILE UPDATE

#Note: This Chinese Beta Update was leaked by some user. This was not officially available until then.

TEAM DEATH-MATCH

PUBG Mobile is trying new modes ever since the zombie mode became popular.

Now the developers are adding a team deathmatch mode. This mode will feature a new tiny map just a few hundred metres in length and width. (We are working on a detailed article on the Team DeathMatch in PUBG Mobile so stay tuned!!)

NEW DEATH ANIMATION

Players will wave at you while sitting down when you kill them. Same will happen to your avatar when you die. Maybe it was put in the game just to reduce the so-called in-game "violence".

BULLET IMPACT

Bullet impact is changed. Instead of blood or green electricity, the animation has been changed. Now there will be a pink-purple coloured spark (by default) whenever you shoot someone. Additionally, you can always change the colour to green, blue or yellow. It can be exclusive to PUBG Mobile China due to some violence restriction on video games in China.

NEW ZONE

The zone is now purple-pink in colour. We are not sure why is that, but it is a nice visual change. Now you will not lose health if you are outside the zone. Instead, you will have a different "zone health bar" just beneath your health bar.

Once you are outside the zone, you will see a 205 seconds timer on your screen. You have to get in the zone in 205 seconds, or you will die. If your zone has bar is low you will have to take "zone health booster" and "zone medkits" to restore it and buy yourself some time.

We personally believe that this new zone health bar system is a bit more complicated and not really something that we liked to say the least.

MORE REALISTIC GUNS

Now it is more of a cosmetic change than anything, but it still is a nice improvement. Guns now have extra texture and detail. We will leave some screenshots below so you can have a look for yourself.

NEW TRAINING MAP

Although it is not really new, the map is now covered with snow giving it a Vikendi look. Everything else is the same. There is also a First Person Perspective (FPP) training mode.

Here are a few more screenshots of the FPP training mode.

REVAMPED LOBBY

The lobby is Changed. The field is changed with a more beautiful what looks like a cliff. You can see a smouldering fire behind you at a distance. Really pleasing to the eye.

IMPROVEMENTS

We didn't get to test this Update in hand, but the players who tried this update all said that the game feels much more fluid.

There is an increase in texture details as well making it more realistic looking. Of course, you can turn down the graphics settings in lower-end phones.

Minor Changes

More island added in Erangel

Now when you fly into Erangel, you will notice there is a lot more island surrounding the actual map. This gives it a more vast look, but sadly, this is purely cosmetic. You can't land on or swim to these islands. You will be blocked by an invisible wall. 

EndNote:

As stated earlier, this China Beta was leaked by someone, so it is very much in internal testing. Nobody knows if this will come to the global version. There were a couple of features in the previous Chinese Beta versions that never made it to the global version. 

However, we are pretty sure that the team deathmatch mode will be made available soon. Other graphics improvements are also likely to follow suit.

That's everything for today. Thank you for reading our article "PUBG MOBILE UPDATE: A New Hope". Don't sit around, share this knowledge with your friends and teammates and brag about it.
