At one-quarter the size of Miramar and Erangel, PUBG's Savage map is its smallest battleground yet. Evan, Chris and Jody reckon this is a good thing—but you can decide for yourself when it returns to test servers next week.
As outlined in this Steam Community post, Codename: Savage enters its Closed Experimental Server on Monday 16 at 6pm PST/Tuesday 17 at 2am BST, and is live till the same time on Wednesday 18. Developer PUBG Corp will reopen its signup website this weekend, but those who claimed keys last time are good to go here.
For those of you still to claim, know that signups kick off on Saturday 14 at 5am PST/1pm BST, and close at the same time on Tuesday 17.
Elsewhere, the dev promises another post on Monday which will "share [its] plans for testing Savage over the next couple of months."
GET HYPE. The second round of testing for Codename: Savage begins next week. We'll be handing out more access keys to our Experimental Test Server starting on Saturday. Full details here: https://t.co/GIA0qW4Jj4 pic.twitter.com/EjZcz8NvyWApril 12, 2018
