Development of Erangel began sometime in early 2016 when Bluehole was in talk with PLAYERUNKNOWN about making a Battle Royale game. Years later, in 2019, Erangel got a visual update that overhauled the map. Erangel (Remastered) or just Erangel, got a visual update to bring it on par with the same level of polish as other maps like Sanhok and Vikendi.

Erangel at the start was never built around vaulting (a feature that was introduced later on in development) and now ledge grabbing (what was released within this visual update), this map is built around that.

Summary

Erangel is the base map for the game. An 8x8 km map dotted with small outcroppings of buildings, the distance between major landmarks necessitates the use of vehicles to move between areas. As the game continues, the map area will be restricted to a smaller and smaller play area. A red circle will appear on the map from time to time, marking an area for offshore artillery to bombard. Erangel has varying weather, sometimes affecting visibility and requiring a change in tactics.

Cities and the local military base have plenty of decent loot, but you won't be the only one thinking the same thing. A mix of urban areas and wide open farmland create a wide variety of battles, ranging from intense close range firefights in streets and buildings, to long range sniping duels taking place across wheat fields.

The name Erangel was chosen, using PLAYERUNKNOWN's daughter's name, Eryn, as inspiration.^[1]

Update history

Update #64 (Season 18 - Update 18.2)

We’ve adjusted the spawn rates of the zippy Coupe RB! Now it can be found in more maps and modes. Therefore, spawn rates of certain vehicles on certain maps have been slightly adjusted.

Update: No updates have been made on spawning spots.
- Coupe RB spawn rate has been increased from 5% to 6.7%.
- Roughly 5% of all vehicles.

Update #60 (Season 15 - Update 15.2)

We have applied the same quality of curves in the map to the mini-map. In addition, the bridges are displayed in the same way as the roads.

Update #57 (Season 14 - Update 14.1)

An update has been made to Pochinki, one of the most popular drop points for dropping on Erangel. Until now, it was challenging to escape from Pochinki after early match combat without a vehicle. Also, the surrounding area was made up of fields, which made it easy for the enemies to find you. The following updates have been made to address these difficulties. Last but not least, the quality of the terrain around the map has been improved.

Pochinki Church Renewal
- In order to balance with the surrounding two or three-story buildings, we have blocked the church rooftop play.
- Added a secret room in the basement of the church where items are spawned. This room can be accessed without a key.
Updated Terrain Around Pochinki
- Added waterway.
- Added cover.
- Added fences.
- Fixed terrain height.
Improved Pochinki Terrain Quality.

Update #52 (Season 11 - Update 11.2) World Changes - Erangel Military Island Bridges

Late last year, we asked players which locations on Erangel could be improved, or otherwise changed to improve gameplay. After reading your responses across multiple platforms, including previous feedback and suggestions, this update we've focused on introducing changes to the main chokepoints between the Erangel mainland and Sosnovka Island; the East and West bridges.

This minor rework brings structural changes to the bridges and includes the addition of new defendable positions, in addition to catwalks underneath to help fend off attacks, including those from the water. These catwalks also double as a new avenue of attack to mount an assault on those pesky bridge-campers.

The two bridges connecting Sosnovka Island and the Erangel mainland have had major changes, including additional cover and widening of the bridges.
Catwalks have been added, providing additional avenues to both defend and attack from.
The dump truck has been repositioned.

Update #45 (Season 8 - Update 8.3) - vN/A

For those of you wondering what the new docks on Erangel were all about since we added them last update, your ship has come in! Two new Ferry lines will now carry passengers across the water from Southern Erangel to Sosnovka Island and back. There's a total of 4 ferries that make round trips throughout the game for those of you not feeling lucky enough to yolo it across the bridge.

Four Ferries have been added to Erangel.
Ferries allow players to board and travel via two set routes between the Erangel Mainland and Sosnovka Island.
- Each route has two Ferries.
- Each Ferry will depart from the docks with the first phase of the Blue Zone.
Once arriving at a dock, ferries will stay docked for approximately 20 seconds before taking to the sea en route to their destination.
- Ferries will sound a horn 7 secs prior to arrival and departure. Hop aboard!
Ferries are not available in Ranked Mode or Esports Mode in Custom Matches.

Background

Erangel is a fictional island in the Black Sea abandoned near Russia where a military occupation was controlling it. The military occupation tested chemical/biological experiments on the local populace. After a resistance attack on a biological facility, the island had to be abandoned.

Erangel was originally occupied by Soviet forces from the 1950s onwards and was used as a military testing facility, which explains the military base as well as the hospital and storage facilities. A local resistance movement fought to reclaim the island which eventually lead to the island becoming abandoned. The electrical field seen wreaking havoc on the island is powered by electrical emitters which were used to contain towns that were showing signs of revolting against the Soviet forces.^[2]
