PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer Bluehole has previously announced that two new maps are in development for the game, but it’s going to be a while before they are available to play.

Speaking to Eurogamer in a recent interview, Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene stated that the maps are “many months” away from being released.

“We’re going to be doing a blog post on this some time in the near future but what people saw in that is what is called ‘a beautiful corner,’ an area of the map made to show the art director the overall feel the team want to give the map,” he said. “You know, I saw it and was just like, “that’s cool! Oh man.” We’re going to explain these maps are still in early development and we’re still working on two at the moment.

“We’re trying to pick one to focus on. But it’s still going to take us many months to get it out. I mean maps are not an easy thing to do, the last map took us about six to nine months to get to a really playable state. Maps take time. But we’re going to be working hard and we’re expanding the team so there’s no ETA, they’ll come when they’re ready.”

The first map in development is a desert map, while the second is set in the Adriatic, on a mountainous island with a snowy peak with an old cosmodrome in the center.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available now on PC and will be coming to Xbox One later this year.
