PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG continues to be tweaked as PUBG Corp competes against Fortnite to maintain its lead in the battle royal space. There had been reports that the developer was going to launch a smaller map called Codename: Savage. The map measures in at 4×4 km which is roughly one-quarter of the size of PUBG’s other two maps called Erangel and Miramar. It has now been confirmed by the developer that Codename: Savage will enter testing next week.
There’s good news and bad news, actually. The good news is certainly that we now know this map is going to enter testing soon but the bad news is that the first test of Codename: Savage will be closed and limited to select players.
It has been confirmed through the game’s official Twitter account that the first testing window for the new 4×4 km map will begin at 7PM PDT on April 2nd. More information about how players can sign up to take part in this test will be revealed tomorrow. Players should keep an eye on PUBG’s social media channels for access keys.
It hasn’t been confirmed at this point in time when Codename: Savage is going to be released for all PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players.
