Previously it was reported that the next PUBG Mobile update for Android and iOS might see Zombies Mode added to the popular battle royale game as a part of its Resident Evil partnership. What's more is, you can also expect a new death cam feature to show you how you died in-game.
In addition to this, a new weapon called the MK 47 Mutant, a laser sight gun attachment, and a rickshaw (or Tukshai as it's called in PUBG Mobile) will grace the game as well. Dynamic weather may also be included for maps like Erangel and Miramar, allowing for rain to change moment to moment gameplay. Furthermore, Tencent teased the return of a voice option known as Classic Voices in the 0.10.5 update.
