<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/playerunknowns-battlegrounds/">PlayerUnknown&#8217;s Battlegrounds</a> is in line to get a third map in the near future. And while developer PUBG Corp. has shown off some artwork previously that offered a sense for the map&#8217;s layout, we&#8217;ve now gotten a peek at what it looks like in-game.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Brendan &#8220;PlayerUnknown&#8221; Greene offered the glimpse during a panel at the Game Developers Conference. He subsequently shared it in the tweet you see below. It appears to have a more tropical setting than the existing maps, and it has some new types of buildings we haven&#8217;t seen before.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most notably, Greene points out that this is a 4x4km map, which is markedly smaller than 8x8km size of Erangel and Miramar. PUBG Corp. had previously announced it was working on a smaller island map for release sometime this year and that it &#8220;should give you all a much more intense and faster paced Battle Royale experience.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">At the time, it was said to be launching on the PC&#8217;s Experimental Test Server in April. Greene&#8217;s latest tweet says it&#8217;s due out &#8220;soon,&#8221; though he offers no further specifics on when players will be able to test the map. We also don&#8217;t know how soon it will arrive on Xbox One&#8211;or the recently launched <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pubg-mobile-tops-fortnite-claims-no-1-spot-on-app-/1100-6457611/">PUBG Mobile</a>, for that matter.</p>
<p>One thing players will be able to try out in the meantime without having to go to the test server are the first <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pubg-adds-fortnite-like-limited-time-game-modes/1100-6457607/">limited-time event modes</a>. The debut one will bump up squad sizes to eight players and increase the rate at which players find rifles.</p>
