To give everyone a better gaming experience, Version 4.7's third beta test is scheduled for October 15. In the themed mode, you will confront a breathtaking Ancient Beast head-on! Challenge and seal it, delve deep into its massive body, and discover multiple secret realms. Metro Royale gets a huge update too—new map, new items, new PvE enemies, and new mechanics. Countless unknowns await your challenge!
Themed Mode
Themed Areas
Erangel is getting a Nordic-style makeover, with areas such as Pochinki, Rozhok, and Mansion receiving major redesigns fused with Norse mythology for a brand-new visual experience.
● Ancient Beast Sealing Ground:
✧ At the Ancient Beast's head, you can attack it to expose the entangled Glyph Tower. Activate the altar within the Glyph Tower to release Glyph Chains that seal the Ancient Beast and force it to open its mouth.
✧ Activate the altar to receive the Hero's Medal.
● Inside the Ancient Beast:
✧ After completing the seal on the Ancient Beast's head, all players can enter the same space inside the beast through its opened mouth. Players inside cannot attack each other. After entering the inside of the beast, you can interact with the pedestal. Players with the Hero's Medal can obtain the Aurora Pegasus themed vehicle, while other players can obtain normal rewards.
● Ancient Beast Tail:
✧ The Ancient Beast's tail is wrapped around the submerged tower. Sound the horn to activate the tail and drag the tower to the surface. Once raised, it can be entered and explored.
● Ancient Beast Body:
✧ Parts of the Ancient Beast's body can be found all across Erangel and block access to some explorable caves. Shoot the body parts lodged in front of the cave entrances to move them out of the way and explore the caves.
✧ The shell on some parts of the Ancient Beast's body can be destroyed by shooting specific areas, exposing the brilliant scales within and dropping supplies.
✧ Parts of the Ancient Beast's body are spread across Erangel and the water's surface. Its body continuously shifts about to form moving platforms that players can stand on.
● Aurora Realm:
✧ During the Aurora Realm event, eliminated players can enter the Aurora Realm through the spectating interface. In the Aurora Realm, they can earn a chance to return to the battleground by chasing starlight and relaxing. After earning a chance to return, they will jump back into the battleground.
Gameplay Mechanics
● Obtaining Glyph Abilities
At the start of the match, each player is granted a random passive skill based on the Power Feathers they hold.
● Floating Light Orb & Power Feather
✧ In areas related to the Ancient Beast, you may encounter floating light orbs. Chase and touch the light orbs to obtain a certain amount of Power Feathers.
✧ After collecting a certain amount of Power Feathers, you can unlock a higher chance of obtaining a high-level Glyph passive skill.
Metro Royale Updates

✧ Updated the gameplay Lobby with a new lightweight style that's more efficient and takes up less space.

Gameplay Updates
● New PVE Gameplay Map - Seal City
✧ A large 1.8×1.8 map, featuring an autumn setting and a coastal town after a zombie virus outbreak.
✧ This map features new mechanics such as a day-night cycle and enemy dormancy, delivering a whole new Metro Royale gameplay experience.
● New PvE Enemies:
✧ Boss - Reaper Scorpion
(Subject Zero, the first creature to escape the laboratory. To life, tenacity and freedom are often one and the same. Make sure to never face it alone)
✧ Boss - Aberrant Vine
(An unnatural creation, writhing in underground fissures like an agonizing root.)
✧ Boss - Wasteland Scavenger
(A frail frame carrying a massive pack. His greed drives him to scavenge ruins even after death.)
✧ Special Monster - Mimic Mask
(Be careful not to let it catch you, or your teammates will become afraid of you!)
✧ Special Monster - Treasure Seal
(Keeping it by your side will bring you good luck, but don't make it angry!)
✧ Special Monster - ???
(A huge PvE enemy that only appears at night—no one knows its name, nor why it comes.)
✧ Elite - Codename: Earthshaker
(One blast can shatter the landscape. Fused directly into bone and sinew, this heavy rocket system turns him into a mobile bio-turret.)
✧ Elite - Codename: Barrage
(Flesh fused with a six-barrel minigun, sowing death with every spent round.)
✧ Elite - Codename: Darkwing
(An aerial zombie scout and living siren. Don't let it spot you.)
✧ Elite - Codename: Leaper
(Hypertrophic muscle fibers allow it to take impossible leaps, though the violent impact severely damages its joints.)
✧ Elite - Codename: Running Back
(Star quarterback of the undead Super Bowl. His playbook is dead simple: charge in a straight line.)
✧ Monster - Aberrant Plant Guard
(A fleshy flower bud hanging high above the ruins, watching like a ravenous, solitary eye for prey below.)
✧ Monster - Bone-Spike Bat
(Circles the shadows, firing explosive bone spikes.)
✧ Monster - Aberrant Steelworker
(In life, he built; in death, he destroys. The fuel drum clutched in his arms was once meant for a desperate last stand to protect humanity, and it remains his weapon still.)
✧ Monster - Grinning Clown
(Following infection, the painted smile on his face became permanent. Shh... he's scouting for his ideal audience.)
✧
Monster - White-Collar Zombie
(Carries an assortment of drinks on hand. After all, long hours take a toll—even on the undead.)
✧ Monster - Patrol Officer Zombie
(Trapped in a ragged police uniform, his decomposing body is still driven by a single duty: hunting down lawbreakers.)
✧ Monster - Plague Nurse
(Obsessed with saving lives, she continues to tend to her kind with needles and medicine.)
✧ Monster - Aberrant Plant
(An evil flower born from corpses, feeding on flesh.)
✧ Monster - Lava Zombie
(Stripped of flesh and voice, they wander in search of viable hosts to inhabit, borrowing strangers' throats to weep.)
● PvE Map Mechanics:
✧ In-Match Event:
➢ Advanced Supply Zone: Randomly appears at certain bases. Supplies within the area are significantly better.
➢ High-Pressure Zone: Randomly appears at certain bases. Enemies within the area are enhanced, but with better rewards, too.
✧ Day/Night Cycle:
➢ There is a day-night cycle, which affects the environmental atmosphere and PvE enemy behavior.
● New Item:
