A deeper insight into the Nimbus Islands

At the heart of the update are the Nimbus Islands, which come in two variants: Sky Isle (Day) and Sky Isle (Night). Each island offers a unique environment and significantly influences the players' strategy. While the day provides open confrontations with plenty of lighting, the night requires a stealth-based approach, with the darkness providing cover for players. This alternation between day and night encourages players to adapt their tactics and utilize both their offensive and covert combat capabilities.

The islands are accessible via portals that transport players directly into this new world. However, after a set time, the islands disappear and players who are eliminated on the islands parachute back into the main game. This time limit adds an extra layer of strategy, as players must decide how to make the most of their time on the islands.

The magic of the Nimbus Islands: Flying carpets and treasure ships

A particular highlight is the Flying Carpet, which introduces a new way of getting around in PUBG MOBILE. Players can switch between ground and air mode, with shooting disabled in air mode. This restriction forces players to plan their movements carefully and use the Flying Carpet strategically for surprise attacks or quick retreats. The carpet can also dance on command when players near it use emotes, allowing for playful interaction with the environment.

The Sky Treasure Ship provides another dynamic component to the game, flying along a set route and dropping valuable rewards at various points. Players must decide whether to take the risk of boarding and fighting with others for the loot, or choose a safer route.

New weapons, items and strategic options

The update also introduces new weapons and tactical items, such as the Grooving Grenade, which creates a temporary dance area, and the Portal Rod, which creates two portals for fast transportation over medium distances. These new items open up a wide range of tactical possibilities and can turn the tide in heated battles.

Each player starts with a treasure map that points the way to hidden supplies. The search for the Auspicious Treasure Vault Key, which provides access to rare supplies, adds a treasure hunt component that deepens the exploration element of the game.

Enhanced features and collaborations

In addition to the gameplay additions, PUBG MOBILE announces exciting collaborations, including one with the Spy x Family series and a new luxury car brand. These partnerships promise to enrich the game with additional content and unique experiences.
