It also seems like Coral Castle will be receiving a major overhaul, with a datamined image showing the map area now being transformed into a floating chunk, highlighting how the map is likely set to receive some big changes in the near future:

While this update is only small, it seems that big things are brewing for the battle royale. With the rumored Ariana Grande appearance and this new live event looking set to make big changes to its map, players will need to tune in to see where the game is headed.

In other news, Apex Legends is set to receive some map changes of its own. It was also revealed that the upcoming Dead Space remake would not have last-gen versions, and would be a current-gen release only.
