In another tweet, Tencent revealed that a “dangerous meteorite” is headed towards Erangel. It appears that an alien civilization called Yarilo is invading the map. The technology company, DynaHex which has been making developments to the map, will also be affected by the invasion.

More details about patch 1.6 will be released in the coming days. Yesterday, PUBG Mobile revealed in a dev update that it’s launching Project Future into the game. As a part of this, the areas of Erangel will be developed to become futuristic. Other new features will also be joining the game.
