Level Infinite's Battle Royale game, PUBG Mobile, introduced a new mode with an esports-esque feel, Ultimate Royale.
PUBG Mobile introduced a thrilling new ranked mode called Ultimate Royale. This high-stakes mode is designed to provide players with an intense, competitive experience similar to professional esports tournaments.
Starting from 23rd September 2024, players who have reached Crown tier or higher in any mode during the current or previous season can participate in Ultimate Royale. This new mode features a unique scoring system, exclusive rewards, and limited-time availability for each major region. The Ultimate Royale season coincides with Classic Season, starting 14 days into the season.
Eligible players can form their own teams or use automatic matching, as Ultimate Royale is always played in Third-Person Perspective Squad mode. The maps used for the mode would be either Classic Erangel or Classic Miramar on Sunny weather. Each match will randomise the maps.
Much like an actual esports tournament, each match consists of 16 teams, 64 players total, vying for a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. The spawn rate of supplies goes according to esports tournament standards, and the number of weapons, scopes, and attachments doubled.
Ultimate Royale will introduce five tiers into the mode: Vanguard, Exceed, Supreme, Peerless, and Legend. Aside from Legend, each tier has five mini-tiers requiring 100 Rating Points to progress past each mini-tier.
After reaching the Legend tier or higher, players will gain one medal whenever they go up a mini tier. Their scores will be accumulated according to the players’ major regions. At the start of a new season, the ultimate tiers of all players will partially carry over according to their Rating Points.
Eugene Chin Yuan Hao, Country Manager (Malaysia) at Tencent Games, expressed his excitement about the new mode:
“Ultimate Royale is a testament to PUBG MOBILE commitment to providing players with the most thrilling and competitive experiences. With its unique features and rewards, we believe it will captivate players and create unforgettable moments.”
In addition to the competitive gameplay, Ultimate Royale offers players the chance to win exclusive rewards. At the end of each season, players will be rewarded based on the highest tier they have reached that season. Ultimate Royale is now available for players to experience.
