We are deeply touched, excited and blessed because we have the honour to announce a very new testing period to you. This time, we're going to rewrite the history in Battle Royale and experience PUBG MOBILE in a way no previous version did before. Among other great content for the version upgrade we will focus on the major changes at first.

The patch notes of the beta update will also be released tomorrow. Along with this, the story behind Erangel 2.0 has also been revealed, which goes as follows:

Erangel, the heart of PUBG Mobile, is a fictional island in the black sea abandoned near Russia, where a military occupation was controlling it. This faction tested chemical/biological experiments on the local populace, and after a resistance attack on a biological facility, the island had to be abandoned.
