New Nimbus Island Map announced in PUBG Mobile version 3.1 patch notes

The new Nimbus Island map includes two different islands, and different weather conditions. It is relatively easier to survive here since the Blue Zone will not inflict damage on you. So, the zone prediction strategies will not work in this map. Find out more about the map below.

There are two islands: Sky Isle (Day) and Sky Isle (Night). Sky Isle (Day) is bright and suitable for firefights, while Sky Isle (Night) is darker and better for stealth. You can choose to enter either one. There is a countdown timer for the Nimbus Islands. Once the countdown ends, you'll be transported to somewhere high up in the Playzone. While on a Nimbus Island, you won't suffer damage from the Blue Zone. The Nimbus Islands disappear at the end of the countdown and won't be available again in the same match.
Upon entering a Nimbus Island, you will receive a Respawn Card. Getting eliminated ona Nimbus Island uses up the Respawn Card. You can summon a genie on a Nimbus Island, which grants every player in the summoning team an additional special Respawn Card.
The Nimbus Islands are divided into 3 zones, with the palace containing the most supplies. However, it comes with the risk of even more intense battles.
