Rondo is divided into two distinct regions, each presenting a unique atmosphere that offers either familiar gameplay or new strategic approaches.

Dive into vibrant metropolises, a floating restaurant, serene lakes, a bamboo groove, and more.

Injecting a twist into the core elements of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS – LAND, LOOT, SURVIVE – Rondo unfolds a fresh narrative with increased choices every time you embark on a new playthrough. 

• Even more Rondo features are soon to come in future updates, starting from December 6!

Main Areas

• Please note, that the following descriptions of each region are intended to depict each visual aesthetic and may not have a direct connection to the gameplay elements of Rondo.

Jadena City

This metropolis southeast of Rondo has it all: soaring skyscrapers, colorful neon signs, vibrant nightlife, and bridges that span the city. What’s more, in Jadena City, you won’t find yourself traversing the city with sore feet—utilize the new escalators for even swifter transitions between buildings!

• Jadena City buildings are accessible up to the third floor.

Stadium

As we acknowledge various community preferences regarding this system, we are committed to engaging in thorough communication and proceeding with comprehensive evaluations to refine the Recall System moving forward.
