However, players were also expecting the arrival of the Karakin map inPUBG Mobileupdate 1.3. That’s because the developers teased the fan-favourite desert map in the 1.3 beta update. Sadly, it’s been a few days since Season 18 came out, but the mini desert map still isn’t available in the game. So, players are left wondering if the devs have delayed Karakin, instead, leaving it for future updates.
When Is PUBG Mobile ‘Karakin Map’ Releasing?
UPDATE:Recently, PUBG Mobile officially confirmed that the ‘Karakin’ map would release on April 7. What’s more, is that the new desert map will replace Vikendi on the day of its release.

“>Rolex’s tweet by saying,“Easy now, it’s only been a few days.“So, it’s quite clear that the Karakin map will be a part of Season 18.
Unfortunately,PUBG Mobilestill didn’t reveal an exact release date for the upcoming map. Nevertheless, each season in the game only lasts for about two months, and it’s only the first month of Season 18. Based on this, it’s safe to assume that the developers will release the Karakin map next month.
