This return to the jungle on Sanhok, according to the developers, has been remastered based on fan input. The familiar destination, after the update, will be leaner, meaner, and deadlier than ever before.

When survivors drop into the jungle of Sanhok, they will discover that almost every structure, tree, rock, and material on the map has been rebuilt from the ground up.
