PUBG Corp. released a new trailer for PUBG’s seventh season this week to show off the best look yet at Vikendi, the map that’s returning once again after it took a break from the map rotation to be worked on. The trailer shows off different points of interest around the map, some of them improved while others are totally new, but players can get a better look at it themselves now that the map has returned to the PC version’s test servers. It’s scheduled to go live for everyone on the PC on April 21st with a console release planned for April 28th.

The 7.1 update previewed in the trailer above gives players a rundown of the trains, dinosaurs, and everything else they’ll find on Vikendi with the map’s return. Players will find new ways to get around the map through new vehicles and the train system that’ll ferry players around to different points, so seeing everything the map has to offer should be easy so long as you can survive to do it.

PUBG Corp. also shared a rundown of other notable aspects of Vikendi’s return to highlight some features players may not have picked up on in the trailer above.

Update 7.1 is now available on PC Test Servers, including the updated #Vikendi map!
