PUBG New state is set in the future, i.e., 2051, and will offer numerous futuristic features, including drones, combat rolls, and more.

The Google Play description of the game reads:

"Enjoy a variety of tools and features, including drones, combat rolls, and more."

Players could also spot drones and a futuristic ballistic shield in the pre-order trailer.

The game will also provide numerous new and exciting vehicles that will enable users to move around the 8x8 km map. A bike, buggy, and several other vehicles were on display in the game's trailer.

"Explore massive 8x8 km open worlds with a variety of vehicles."

On the contrary, there are no features like shields and drones yet in PUBG Mobile. There is a UAV available in Payload 2.0.

PUBG New State will provide players with the in-game weapon customization feature to help make their own weapons. However, the exact nature of these customizations is not known at this point.

The press release stated:

"A new in-game weapon customization feature, players can make various weapons their own by obtaining customization kits. These kits will transform weapons in different ways, such as performance enhancements, fire mode selection, and grenade launcher attachments."

While the Google Play description said:

"Master different weapons and make each of them your own with weapon customization."

In theory, the feature appears to be quite different from the option of guns' attachments in the game's global version.
