With these announcements, fans have plenty to set their eyes on as the conclusion of the inaugural 2024 PMWC draws near.

Kicking off the announcements, James Yang, Senior Director of Global Esports at Level Infinite, revealed the location and slots of the 2024 PMGC.

The format of this year’s 2024 PMGC is much like the last, with changes to qualifying slots following the introduction of new regional PUBG MOBILE Super League (PMSL) series at the start of 2024. For invited slots, 15 teams will qualify, including two teams from Japan, four from PEL, two from South Korea, the winner of the PUBG MOBILE Rivals Cup S2, the PMWC Champions Region, and five special invites.

For the remaining slots, 10 South East Asian teams will qualify from the top five positions of the PMSL SEA Fall, the top four positions by PMGC points for the region, and the winner of the PUBG MOBILE Challengers League (PMCL) Fall. In a similar format, 8 Central and South America teams will qualify from the top four positions of the PMSL CSA Fall, and the top four positions by PMGC points for the region.

The big reveals did not stop there, as a brand new PUBG MOBILE Esports circuit was revealed — Metro Royale Esports. Introduced to PUBG MOBILE in 2021, Metro Royale offers fans a new way to play in an all-or-nothing PvPvE mode. The aim of the game is to secure loot whilst fending off enemy players and AI along the way, extracting with all the newfound gear, boasting an impressive elimination count in doing so. More details are to be revealed, but fans can expect some incredible performances as this much-loved gamemode is set to join the PUBG MOBILE Esports catalogue.

With these major announcements offering fans plenty to look forward to, focus returns to the 2024 PMWC, as tomorrow will see the crowning of the inaugural champion.
