AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS – JULY 23, 2024 – KRAFTON, Inc. has announced the return of ‘Fantasy Battle Royale’ to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS starting July 24.
The popular ‘Fantasy Battle Royale’ mode, first introduced as an April Fools’ event in 2020, offers players a unique battle royale experience with four classes: Barbarian, Ranger, Wizard, and Paladin. Players will compete on Dragon’s Isle (Erangel) in squads of four, with up to 80 players per match. The Barbarian excels in melee combat with a longsword, the Ranger specializes in long-range attacks with the 'Dragonslayer' crossbow, the Wizard can rain down fire on groups of enemies, and the Paladin supports the team by healing allies.
Fantasy Battle Royale will be available on PC from July 24 to August 7, and on consoles from July 31 to August 14.
Additionally, the recently launched Update 30.2 reintroduces items like the Tactical Pack and EMT Gear, now assigned to primary weapon slots with enhanced functionalities. The Tactical Pack offers increased attachment slots, and the EMT Gear reduces the usage time for heal items and increases the speed of teammate revival. The All-In-One Repair Kit can now be used three times and occupies the secondary weapon slot. These items now spawn in all maps.
Additional updates include Automobili Lamborghini collaboration items, vehicle customization enhancements, the Flare Gun in Deston, and adjusted spawn rates for the Emergency Pickup in Miramar and Rondo. General map bug fixes have also been implemented that improve performance, collision detection, and textures.
