PUBG Mobile has officially released its Version 4.5 Update, introducing one of the game’s biggest content expansions to date. Running from July 9 to September 7, 2026, the update features a major collaboration with the ever-popular anime series Naruto Shippuden. Headlining the update is Naruto: Ninjas Assemble, a themed gameplay mode that brings iconic characters, locations, abilities and story elements from the anime franchise into PUBG Mobile across Erangel, Livik and Sanhok. The Version 4.5 update introduces a fully recreated Hidden Leaf Village, allowing players to explore some of the anime’s most recognizable locations, including Hokage Rock, Naruto’s Apartment, Hokage’s Residence, Ichiraku Ramen Shop, and The Aviary. Players can also visit several famous locations from the Naruto storyline, such as the Ninja Academy, Hidden Leaf Hospital, Chunin Exam Finals Arena, Naka Shrine Secret Room, Naruto’s Inner Mind, Valley of the End, and Great Naruto Bridge. These themed environments recreate memorable scenes from the series while serving as playable battlegrounds. Beyond combat, players can relive scenes from the anime through interactive experiences including Valley of the End duels, multiplayer photo opportunities, a Naruto-themed aircraft cabin sequence, Ninja Team Ready animations, and Team 7-inspired Strongest Team celebrations. Beginning July 12, players also can unlock a wide range of cosmetics inspired by Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Hinata, Gaara, Tsunade, Madara and Jiraiya. Each character set includes an exclusive emote, while additional collaboration items feature official voice packs, themed gear, vehicle skins and the Kurama Buddy companion pet.
