PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is thrilled to announce its upcoming partnership with NARUTO SHIPPUDEN, one of the most beloved and influential anime franchises of all time.
Representing one of the most ambitious crossovers in PUBG MOBILE‘s history, Version 4.5, launching on July 9th, will allow players to experience the world of NARUTO in ways never before possible across PUBG MOBILE’s unique platform.
Developed under the supervision of the Naruto Production Committee, players can expect deeply integrated gameplay mechanics, transformed environments, faithful recreations of the key locations, and abilities that have defined NARUTO for generations of fans. With this expansive partnership, players will be able to visit major sites of importance in Naruto’s story, including the Hidden Leaf Village and Hokage Rock, plus The Final Valley, to name but a few.
To truly feel like an elite shinobi, they will be able to harness powerful ninjutsu such as Chidori, Rasengan, Shadow Clone, Flying Raijin Jutsu and many more. Whilst more information will be shared soon, PUBG MOBILE has revealed that gameplay will also feature a special boss fight for players against The Nine-Tails, the iconic beast at the centre of Naruto’s origin.
Players can also anticipate the release of various themed character sets including Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Hinata, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Gaara and Madara alongside other themed content yet to be revealed.
“PUBG MOBILE is committed to setting new benchmarks for interactive entertainment through innovative partnerships and premium player experiences. NARUTO’s enduring global influence and passionate fanbase made this collaboration a natural fit. By combining beloved cultural icons with the intensity, depth, and scale of PUBG MOBILE, we are set to deliver one of our most ambitious and anticipated crossover experiences yet,” says Vincent Wang, Head of PUBG MOBILE Publishing at Tencent Games.
Since its inception in 1999, NARUTO has sustained its position as one of the most widely viewed and culturally significant anime and manga series. The franchise continues to attract a large global audience, reaching tens of millions of viewers, underscoring its enduring popularity, cross-generational appeal, and continued relevance as a premier entertainment franchise.
