When talking about battle royale in PUBG, people will think of a battle of 100 people with modern weapons such as guns, grenades,... Now, think again as the dev has turned PUBG into a fantasy RPG game with classes such as Barbarian, Ranger, Wizard and other RPG elements such as crafting, skills, items.

The Fantasy Battle Royale event was made so players can have a fun time on April Fool's Day while staying isolated in their homes due to the coronavirus outbreak. It is also a good way for the dev to test out new features that are coming to PUBG in the near future such as the crafting system or the shield.
