PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players trying out the female character models on the game’s test server were surprised to see a rather inappropriate female character model. The character is dressed in skin-tight shorts with genitalia prominently shown as a result. The model in question is a new one as earlier versions of female characters did not have this same imagery. (The image after the jump may be NSFW. You’ve been warned!)

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be launching the v1.0 version on December 20th which marks its exit from Early Access. In addition, the highly anticipated Miramar desert map is now live on the pubic test realm right now. During the Game Awards last night, devs showed off a brand new trailer that looks pretty dang sweet.

When the XBox One version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds launches in Australia next week (on December 12th via XBox Game Preview), XBox AU will be throwing out three real life PUBG-themed crates. One will be dropped in Sydney, one in Brisbane and one in Melbourne. The drops will be “live” on Saturday, December 9th.

While it’s been in the testing phase for months now, little has been revealed about the next map coming to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. That has all changed today thanks to an extensive post on the game’s Steam page. The map is called Miramar and is set in the desert to give it a distinct look and feel from the Erangel map. Developers are hopeful that it will provide new ways to play where “the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required”.

Tencent will be publishing a pair of mobile games in China based on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Each game has a brand new trailer that sports the PUBG Corp logo, so these are officially-sanctioned games. One is being developed by Tencent’s Timi Studio and contains a new naval battles feature. The other is developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studio and, according to Gamespot, “it looks like it’s closer to the standard PC version.

According to MMOCulture, Tencent and PUBG Corporation have revealed a cooperative effort to bring a game based on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to mobile devices. According to sources inside PUBG Corp, development is “going smoothly” and that the game will soon be in the hands of Chinese gamers.

PUBG Corp. has announced that it has inked a deal with gaming megacorporation Tencent to publish PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in China. The cooperative effort will see the two work to secure a stable network system and to enhance anti-cheat measures in the game. “In addition, there are plans to create a fair and sustainable ecosystem by seeking co-existence with key stakeholders, including live streaming platforms, media and PC cafes”.

PUBG Corp. has announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds continues to rock the game world with its success. At the recently held Golden Joystick Awards, the company announced that the game had broken not one, not two, but SEVEN Guinness World Records including the “Most Actively Played Video Game on Steam” and “Fastest Time for a Steam Early Access Game to Gross $100M in Revenue” as well as five others.
