PUBG returns to its origins for a limited time

PUBG returns to its origins with its original map, for a limited time, along with some changes in its mechanics to make it more like its first version.

PlayersUnknown’s Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, is a game that many people feel nostalgic about. Even if it is still one of the most played games on Steam. It makes sense because its first beta appeared in 2015, as a mod for ARMA 3, and had its original release in 2017. In seven years, it’s enough time for people to feel nostalgic. And PUBG Studios knows that.

For a limited time, the game map that originated the battle royale fever will return to its original state. PUBG will introduce a remastered version of Erangel, called Erangel Classic. They will change the interface, reduce recoil, and increase the TTK to make it feel closer to the original game. It’s an unexpected journey of nostalgia that the most devoted fans of the game will surely appreciate.

However, if you want to play it, you will have to enjoy it while you can. Erangel Classic will be available from May 14th to May 28th on PC and from May 23rd to June 6th on consoles. So, if you are a big fan, you will have to be willing to play it on both platforms.

You would never imagine how the most important video game of the decade was created

It’s as simple as that: on their way to Disney, they decided to reunite the original team, put a Battle Royale in ‘Fortnite’, and turn it into a success.

At this point, I don’t think anyone can argue that, whether we like it or not, ‘Fortnite‘ has been the most important video game and the most absolutely illogical phenomenon of the decade. Since its release in 2017 until now, it has become the pinnacle of everything: there is no franchise that doesn’t want to go through – or has gone through – its jaws, and both LEGO and ‘Rock Band’ have found a second life in the game. But have you ever wondered how it was born?

Take me to the Citadel, please

It all started when Epic was about to launch their new game, a cooperative game that was going to be called ‘Fortnite: Save the world’. But then they noticed ‘Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds‘, which brought together a hundred people in each match. Who wouldn’t want so many people playing your video game at the same time?

And then the magic happened, on an Uber trip. It’s as simple as that: on the way to Disney, they decided to bring back the original team, put a Battle Royale in ‘Fortnite’ and turn it into a success. There was only one problem: the meeting was in three hours and they needed a document to guide people on what to do. And so, in the back seat of an Uber, they wrote the foundations of what we now know as ‘Fortnite’.

But how? What was going to differentiate them? What was the starting point? While they were asking themselves, a school bus slipped by their side in the traffic, and they thought: that’s it. Decided. The players are going to ride a bus through the sky, and jump wherever they want on the map. Yes, okay, it all started with a copy of ‘PUBG’, but… What game doesn’t copy another, even a little, to evolve?

We can learn a lesson from all this: when you ride in the back of an Uber, instead of looking at your phone, look out the windows: you never know when you’ll come up with the idea that will make you a millionaire!
