The developer behind chicken-dinner-giving shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has confirmed plans to buff its Savage map with a new underground cave network, plus a bunch of other additions.

Writing in a new blog post, PUBG Corp. confirmed that the cave system plucks inspiration from Phraya Nakhon, a real-world network of caves located just outside of Bangkok, Thailand. Players will be able to drop right into the caves, which will feature ‘plenty of methods of escape’ if you’re feeling a little claustrophobic. 

The studio noted that there’s still some work to do on the new map, although confirmed it plans on rolling out the changes in the Codename: Savage test servers ‘in the next couple of testing phases.’ 

Elsewhere, PUBG. Corp confirmed that players will be able to get their mitts on a motorised rickshaw known as the Tuk Tuk, and promised new weapons will also be implemented at some point, though there’s no word on what they are at the time of writing.

The developer is currently working on getting the Miramar map up and running for the Xbox One version of the Battle Royale title, which will arrive at some point in May. Meanwhile, a new update for the PC edition of PUBG has applied various changes to the blue zone while also adding additional areas to Miramar.
