PUBG Mobile has once again generated excitement within the community by announcing an upcoming collaboration with the legendary fighting game series, THE KING OF FIGHTERS.
As part of this partnership, a new themed event will launch in PUBG Mobile featuring numerous outfits, weapon finishes, and in-game rewards directly inspired by the iconic franchise. The launch is scheduled for January 30, 2026.
PUBG Mobile has always offered a wide range of prestigious collaborations with each major update. Recent partnerships have included brands like Porsche and franchises such as Transformers. This time, the game is teaming up with one of the most influential fighting games of the 1990s.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS, developed by the Japanese studio SNK, is a long-running crossover series that brings together characters from various SNK franchises, as well as original fighters created exclusively for the series. The franchise has also expanded into the mobile market through Netmarble’s idle RPG adaptation.
This collaboration is expected to reintroduce the popular “Rewards Path” event. This system typically allows players to unlock a progression path by spending UC, with an estimated entry cost of around 600 UC.
Players can expect to receive at least three Mythic-level outfits, thematic weapon finishes, and various cosmetic items. Similar events like the “Rewards Path” have previously taken place during collaborations with Kaiju No. 8 and Attack on Titan.
To access the event rewards, players will need to unlock the rewards path. Since the collaboration has not been launched yet, the full list of rewards has not been officially confirmed.
According to initial information from multiple sources, the rewards path is expected to include three sets of mythical characters, a helmet skin, two voice packs, and an exclusive finish for the Falcon companion. More details will likely be revealed as the event approaches.
