At the the PC Gaming Show at this year’s E3, PlayerUnknown of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds fame announced that an upcoming patch to his game would be adding two new maps, the ability to climb over walls, and new weather effects.

Battlegrounds players will no longer have to fall over waist-high walls and will instead be able to vault over them like an action hero. As well as that, you’ll be able to jump through flipping windows. If that’s not swish, I don’t know what is.

The new weather effects in the game include fog and sunsets that both affect your vision. 

Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene also announced that a new 3D replay system will soon be in place that gives players the ability to check out the match from any angle they like.

Developer Bluehole’s upcoming update will add some other little improvements here and there that are sure to keep the growing community happy for some time yet.
