The long-awaited snow map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been revealed and it’s called Vikendi. The map was first shown with a trailer during The Game Awards on Thursday night.

The trailer shows off a bird inadvertently causing an explosion, but it does give us a few details about the map. Vikendi looks to feature massive amounts of snow along with frozen rivers and lots of trees. Dave Curd from developer PUBG Corp. was in attendance to provide a few more details, including the fact that players would leave tracks in the snow and that the map would include at least one new weapon and the new snowmobile vehicle. Curd also mentions that the map is the first in PUBG to be six by six making it right in the middle between the sizes of Sanhok and Erangel.

Vikendi releases on PUBG’s test server tonight and will go live on Dec. 19, and it will be headed to consoles in January.

Vikendi, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground’s new snow-themed map, has finally been revealed, with a cinematic trailer that first aired during The Game Awards on Thursday night.

The map, which is set in Eastern Europe, takes players to a wintry country full of abandoned cities blanketed in snow. Vikendi is PUBG’s first 6 km by 6 km map, making it directly in-between the sizes of Sanhok, the game’s newer smaller map, and Erangel, the original larger PUBG map.

But it’s more than a size that makes Vikendi unique. The map also adds environmental hazards like frozen rivers and lakes that can send players careening out of control if they don’t drive carefully or forests that are far denser and tightly packed with trees than other maps. And then, of course, there’s the snow, which deforms around players as they move through it making tracking opponents an entirely new element of PUBG’s gameplay.

Shortly before the reveal, Polygon spoke with PUBG’s world art director, Dave Curd, to talk about Vikendi, the map’s unique gameplay and what exactly went into making the perfect PUBG snow map.

Polygon: Since PUBG’s release, fans have been excited about the idea of and asking for a snow map. What made you feel like this was the right time to actually make it?

Dave Curd: From the beginning, we knew there was interest there, but our challenge as game makers is to discuss why make a map, why is this map special, why should we take on this endeavor, what do we want to provide that the other maps don’t provide? So at the beginning of our discussions we really kind of fell in love with the idea of tracking players and kind of the hunter becoming the hunted.

We thought this was a fun gameplay conceit that we hadn’t seen in our own maps yet. And so of course snow made the most sense to implement. And from there we thought, well, we have one player base that really loves the kind of rush of the four by four Sanhok map, and we have another player base that’s really into the tactical deliberate pace that you might see in Miramar or Erangel. So then we started thinking, OK, what about a six by six? Can this be a sweet spot in the middle? That was kind of why make this map. We wanted to explore stalker gameplay and we wanted to kind of bridge the gap between those player bases.

Are there going to be features like footprints in the snow and stuff like that to help make that, that tracking happen?

Absolutely. So, we have footprints. We have vehicle prints, and tracks obviously, and even when you’re prone and kind of snake crawling, you’re going to smear some snow around. In PUBG when the doors are open, when the windows are broken, you know someone’s been there, but you don’t know when. So our intention was, if you see the tracks you know you’re warm, you know you’re right on top of them, so you can kind of make that interesting choice. Do I follow the tracks and maybe it’s a setup or maybe I’m going to catch them in the back or do I not take the fight, go the opposite way and get more looted, prepare for the next time.

PUBG Corp.

Yeah. I’ve always thought of PUBG as like walking into a crime scene and trying to figure out like exactly happened and that sounds like it’s gonna be a totally new element of that.

You know, we really think that’s kind of what sets our game apart is it’s this kind of tension in this oscillation between survival and fighting. I think some games are all action and some games are all survival and this kind of high stakes hide and seek is where our sweet spot is and we’re really excited to see how the communities use the tracks. Obviously hunting players is huge, but I’m really expecting a lot of a lot of running around a corner and then posting up with your weapon and seeing who’s following you. The traps that are going to be laid I think should be pretty fun.

Was there anything early on with this map that you all or even you specifically looked at and said this has to be in the PUBG map that we’re going to work on?

Absolutely. Early into the process, we looked at frozen rivers and lakes and what it might be like to kind of pilot a very fast snowmobile across those surfaces. So you’re driving this incredibly fast, slippery, scary thing across a frozen wilderness with fishing sheds and old frozen boats and giant rocks. And it was just this awesome feeling that we hadn’t captured in any of our previous maps. And another thing we were excited to try was kind of the density of the forest, you know, all of our maps naturally have wilderness. Well, we really wanted to have some heavy, heavy forest to kind of supplement the stalking-tracks-through-the-snow gameplay with also going into these mazes of heavy dense trees.

PUBG Corp.

The river thing is really interesting. I think PUBG players probably already see rivers is sort of natural barriers like it’s a big deal to cross them. And it’s interesting that you can translate into something different with this new map.

Yeah, now it’s like what if a river was the fastest highway across the map? We were pleased to kind of try that inversion.

What’s New On new PUBG Vikendi Snow Map?

#1: NEW WEAPON: G36C

• G36C spawns only in Vikendi
• Chambered for 5.56mm ammo, it can load 30 bullets and 40 with an Extended Magazine
• G36C has a lower and upper rail for attachments, but cannot attach a stock

#2: NEW VEHICLE: SNOWMOBILE

• The Snowmobile only spawns in Vikendi
• It seats 2 players and performs much better than other vehicles on snow and ice, but is more difficult to drive on another terrain.

#3: Replay Editor

• This system allows you to create dynamic video clips with creative camera angles and special effects using your replay files
• You can also create 3D paths for the camera and camera angles and export clips

#4: Redzone

• The center of the red zone spawns outside of the play zone
• The smaller the play zone, the smaller the red zone

#5: Bluezone

• The first circle of every game is much smaller than other maps, but subsequent circle sizes change less drastically.
• This facilitates more blue zone variety and unique experiences.
• Similar strategies work on Vikendi to Erangel and Miramar for the first three phases, but the zones will close slower starting from phase 4, similar to Sahnok. We feel this leads to a good balance between strategy and gunplay throughout the duration of each match

#6: Item Spawn Balance

• The overall item spawn rate is at a midpoint between our maps – offering a unique place between the spawn rates of Erangel and Sahnok.
• Level 3 helmets spawn in the world
• Level 3 vests spawn more often than other maps
  Smoke Grenades are spawned at a higher rate compared to other throwables

#7: Snow Lobby

• Applied a snowing effect in the lobby
• Changed the background music

Gameplay

• Improved the character animations used in the air.
  • Character movements are much more fluid and have been improved to be more realistic.

Parachute System Overhaul

Updated parachuting system will be applied to the test server on December 10.

• Freefalling
  • LSHIFT now puts you into a dive at full speed straight down towards the ground
  • Turning speed is now much faster and has increased control, responsiveness, and precision

• Parachuting

  • Added new freefall animations and increased overall control and responsiveness
  • LSHIFT helps you drop faster and land quicker
  • LCTRL lets you glide when you want to travel a longer distance
    You can now cut the parachute while relatively close to the ground, while still moving through the air.
    • This can be used to strategically to get to your drop point faster, but be careful, as you can take damage if you drop too far
  • Added new landing animations
    • The speed in which you land matters, as landing too fast may force your character to roll, or roll for longer before you can gain full control of your movement
  • Colliding with buildings or objects while parachuting will now automatically cut your parachute. Be careful!
  • The parachute no longer disappears instantly after landing

• Improved blood hit effects

  • Improved the visuals of blood particles when players are shot.
  • Improved the visuals of blood effects that appear on the screen when shot by other players.
• Slightly increased delay between single shots of the M16A4
• Players now receive damage from Molotovs that hit their vehicle
  • Molotovs that hit around the vehicle, or when driven through an already-exploded Molotov will not damage those inside

Survival Title System (Season 2 Beta)

• Changed Season 1 Beta Rank system to Season 2 Beta Survival Title System.
• For more information, please check the Dev Letter (Introducing our new Beta Season 2 Title System) released on Dec 5.

Other features

• Players can throw snowballs while waiting to board the plane in the starting area
• Vehicles will be more slippery in snow or icy areas. Acceleration on icy terrain is slow and you lose more general vehicle control as you speed up
• Footprints and vehicle tracks will appear as players travel in snow-covered areas. Keep an eye out! These are great to help identify if enemies have passed by recently
• Keep in mind that footprints and tracks in the snow don’t stay around forever!
