What is new in Arctic Chronicles

Ancient Beast on Erangel

Parts of Pochinki, Rozhok and Mansion get Norse-inspired architecture. An Ancient Beast appears on the map, and players shoot down two Sealing Towers and activate pedestals to restore the seals.

Players can enter the beast's mouth, which is a no-combat zone. Hero's Medal holders can claim a themed Pegasus mount there. Other parts of the beast hold hidden supplies, caves and fast travel routes.

Glyph Abilities

Glyph Abilities are passive skills. Each player gets one at random at the start of a match. Others come from Glyph Pedestals or loot crates, and Power Feathers improve the odds of higher-level skills.

Aurora Blink and Aurora Pegasus

Aurora Blink, found near the beast, gives a double jump, a short dash and high-speed rail travel along its body. The Aurora Pegasus can be summoned at any time, flies after a double jump and transforms in the Aurora Realm.

Fanged Wolf Spirit and the Aurora Realm

The Fanged Wolf Spirit is summoned with the Oath Seal item. It follows manual or voice commands such as scouting, attacking, supply runs, guarding, healing and rescuing teammates. During the Aurora Realm event, eliminated players can chase starlight to try to re-enter the match.

Classic mode changes

• Vehicle camera improvements for aiming down sights and rollovers.

• Staged Reload resumes an interrupted empty-magazine reload.

• The Med Kit is lighter and faster. Bandages heal more in less time, and the Adrenaline Syringe and Painkillers take less inventory space.

• The Battle Ready Kit from Rondo comes to Erangel, and mission crate and excavation locations are improved.

Fishing also arrives in the themed mode and Classic Erangel. Rare species unlock collection goals and special rewards, which show in the event gallery.

PUBG Mobile Flash

PUBG Mobile Flash is a separate official app with a smaller initial download, a simplified lobby and resource display, and more control over downloads and storage. It includes Classic Battle Royale. Existing accounts work, and players can team up across both apps.

PowNin and Erangel Subzero

PowNin returns on 19 November with new abilities: an Umbrella Blade that blocks fire, canned sardines to share, and a hug option.

Erangel Subzero starts on 3 December. Crashing Tythonic satellites release cryogenic gas that freezes the map and shrinks the Blue Zone around Stalber, Shelter, Sosnovka Military Base and the Boatyard. Satellite crashes happen five times per match.

Subzero item	What it does
Thermal Protection Suit	Blocks Blue Zone damage until its durability runs out
BZ Grenade	Creates a small Blue Zone
Liquid Nitrogen Bottle	Replaces the Molotov Cocktail
Snow Mist Ammo	Ammo for the Grenade Launcher
Snowboard, Snowmobile, Snowbike	New vehicles; the Snowmobile and Snowbike get anti-skid tyres
