What's new in the PUBG Mobile 4.7 update?
1. Arctic Chronicles brings the Ancient Beast to Erangel
The headline addition is Arctic Chronicles, a themed mode that transforms parts of Erangel with Norse-inspired locations and a gigantic creature called the Ancient Beast.
Players can explore the creature, unlock hidden areas, collect supplies and complete challenges involving Sealing Towers and underwater structures.
The mode also introduces Glyph Abilities, which provide advantages such as faster reloading, improved healing, armour repairs, supply detection, and a Tactical Shield. Aurora Blink adds double jumps and short dashes, giving players more ways to navigate the map.
2. Aurora Pegasus and Fanged Wolf Spirit
The Aurora Pegasus is a new mount that allows players to travel on the ground, jump into the air and hover above the battlefield. It's particularly useful for crossing difficult terrain and reaching otherwise inaccessible locations.
The Fanged Wolf Spirit is an AI companion summoned using the Oath Seal. Players can command it to scout for enemies, attack opponents, collect supplies, guard teammates, heal and help revive knocked-down players.
3. Metro Royale gets Seal City
Metro Royale introduces Seal City, a 1.8 x 1.8 km PvE map set in an abandoned town following a zombie outbreak.
Players will face 20 enemy types across four difficulty levels, alongside three bosses: Reaper Scorpion, Aberrant Vine and Wasteland Scavenger. High-Loot and High-Threat zones offer better rewards for players willing to take greater risks.
The update also adds tactical equipment, including the Scream Grenade and Stealth Syringe, and replaces the old Talent system with three progression branches: Combat, Exploration and Survival.
4. Classic Mode receives gameplay improvements
Regular matches also get several useful adjustments. The Med Kit now takes six seconds to use instead of eight, while Bandages restore 12 health instead of 10.
The ACE32 and JS9 receive faster reloads, and the ASM Abakan gets reduced horizontal recoil. A new Staged Reload feature also allows players to resume interrupted reloads rather than starting again.
5. Erangel Subzero arrives in December
Another major addition, Erangel Subzero, launches on December 3. It introduces freezing weather, blizzards and new survival challenges caused by crashed Tythonic satellites.
Players will encounter equipment such as Thermal Protection Suits, BZ Grenades, Snowboards, Snowmobiles and Snowbikes. Frozen entrances and changing weather conditions will also affect how players move around the map.
6. New collaborations, rewards and seasonal activities
Version 4.7 brings back the Godzilla collaboration on November 20, alongside a new Bentley partnership. Players can also drive the Ferrari SF-25 in World of Wonder from November 26 to December 16.
Other additions include fishing activities, the Frost Festival, new Royale Pass rewards and Season 33 content. Avalanche Escape arrives on December 10, while Frost Festival Playground activities begin on December 12.
