PUBG Mobile update 0.12 release date is April 17 and just before this Tencent has revealed what you can expect from it. Aside from changes to PUBG Mobile Zombie mode and the addition of Zombie: Darkest Night, there are a host of fixes. The company claims to have adjusted "automatic door-opening" which could imply that PUBG Mobile's door glitch may finally be rectified. In addition to this are more buildings in the Vikendi snow map, a spectator mode, and configurable scope crosshair colours. Here's the full list of patch notes.

It doesn't feel as dynamic or fun as normal PUBG Mobile or the excellent Zombies: Survive Till Dawn because you're basically pigeonholed into a small area, reducing the game into a mere shooting gallery.
While the PUBG Mobile update 0.12 brings a host of welcome features like Spectator Mode, Crosshair Modifications, and new weapons, our time with PUBG Mobile Zombie: Darkest Night suggests this isn't one of them.
