PUBG Corporation just revealed the next release of seasonal content; Season 6 and Survivor Pass: Shakedown! The season begins with Update 6.1, which adds a brand new 2x2 map that is sure to bring intense and fast-paced combat right from the drop.

The four square kilometers of Karakin are just enough space for 64 players to settle their differences quickly with new weapons and new ways to play. Gain the advantage on enemy squads by creating new entryways in buildings Sticky Bombs. You'll want to watch out for the new Black Zone feature which will rearrange urban areas in an instant. The chaos and destruction of PUBG Season 6 is here!

Players can also interact with this new map like never before with breach points into buildings, bullet penetration through certain walls, and underground smuggler tunnels to avoid or ambush your enemies. The all-new Black Zone adds a new dynamic to the map, forcing players out of the safety of their buildings to avoid being crushed under the rubble of a missile strike.
