PlayerUnknown’s BattlegroundsSeason 7 arrives soon and it’s set to bring back Vikendi with it. Vikendi hasn’t spent its season-long break on the shelf, though. PUBG Corp. has overhauled Vikendi, completely reworking some areas and adding some interesting new features, too. The new Vikendi is officially back inPUBG’s rotation, arriving alongside the new Survivor Pass: Cold Front. Cold Front, being Vikendi-themed, features a ton of new weapon skins and costumes for the colder climate.
The biggest changes toVikendicome at its most memorable locations. Both the Dinopark, now named Dinoland, and Cosmodrome areas have been received a visual overhaul. Dinoland now features a Ferris wheel, as well as a museum hidden within the park’s volcano. Additionally,PUBGhas scoured the map of much of its snow to help with visibility frustrations. There’s still plenty of wintery flair, but it won’t be so oppressive anymore.

To help with transportation, PUBG Corp. has added 9 different trains across the map with 12 different stations. Riding trains across Vikendi will an exciting new dynamic to the map.
