PUBG Mobile Is Expected To Release 'Karakin' Map Amid PMGC Finals

With the PUBG Mobile Championship (PMGC) Finals being down the street, it’s likely that PUBG Mobile will reveal the much-awaited in-game map named 'Karakin' on January 23rd. This map is not something brand new if you’ve tested out the original version of PUBG on PC.

More information about PMGC Finals already came through an Instagram post, in which PUBG Mobile Malaysia unveiled the tournament’s full schedule with details. As projected, PMGC Finals will kick off at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, from January 21st to January 24th, 2021.

To your surprise, the post also talked about a new in-game map that would make its own way to the game on January 23rd without calling out the name. However, speculations around this topic expected that it might be the well-known Karakin map, considering that it’s been quite a long time since PUBG Mobile insiders leaked similar pieces of prediction.

PUBG Mobile currently offers a total of five BR-themed maps, including Erangel, Miramar, Livik, Sanhok, and Vikendi. In the meantime, Karakin is a pocket-size battleground in the PC counterpart, so it’ll be not a far cry from ideal once PUBG Mobile adds it to the map lineup for fast-paced gameplay on mobile devices.

Karakin was made available to PUBG PC players for the first time in early 2020. Instead of hosting 100-player matches as usual, the map allows only 64 players to take part in the lobby due to its humble size, approximately half the size of Sanhok.

That said, every match set in Karakin map brings a load of surprises and exciting moments thanks to several new features like Dark Zone/Purple Zones, Sticky Bombs, Smuggle Tunnels, etc.
