New Themed Gameplay: Golden Dynasty

The Golden Dynasty theme gameplay brings players to a mysterious golden sand kingdom centered around the concept of “time.” The floating islands make a grand return, offering players the choice to land on one of two mirrored floating islands during their parachute descent. The new scene features majestic palaces and exquisite oasis decorations, alongside enigmatic hourglass elements and abundant treasures scattered throughout the environment.

The Golden Dynasty theme introduces a remarkable new item: a dagger capable of bending time. Players can wield this weapon to rewind a few seconds in combat, making it a powerful tool against enemies. Additionally, within the Golden Dynasty, players may encounter the legendary desert ship — the camel. Partnering with this creature, players can engage in battles and uncover the secrets of the dynasty together.

As the 7th-anniversary theme, Golden Dynasty is rich with celebratory elements and loots. Nostalgic elements from PUBG MOBILE’s history will also make a comeback, including iconic locations like Mylta Power and the Bridge on the Erangel map. These scenes also reintroduces dynamic weather systems, with players potentially encountering rainy nights during their adventures.
