PUBG Mobile × Naruto collaboration skins officially revealed

PUBG Mobile will receive its Version 4.5 update on July 9, headlined by a major collaboration with the iconic Naruto anime franchise. The developers have confirmed the addition of nine fully featured character skins, unique ninja abilities, and a brand-new themed game mode.

Official teasers showcased highly detailed character models faithfully recreating their classic appearances from the original series:

• Sasuke Uchiha
• Kakashi Hatake
• Sakura Haruno
• Gaara
• Jiraiya
• Madara Uchiha
• Tsunade
• Hinata Hyuga
• Naruto Uzumaki (Six Paths Mode)

Version 4.5 will significantly change the traditional battle royale gameplay by introducing a range of authentic ninja mechanics.

New gameplay features include:

• Chakra System — an energy meter used to activate special abilities, with its capacity increasing as the safe zone shrinks.
• Ninja Run — dramatically boosts movement speed, increases jump height, and allows players to run across water.
• Special Ninja Techniques:
  • Clone Jutsu to distract opponents.
  • Teleportation for rapid repositioning.
  • Wall Builder to create defensive barriers.
  • Fireball Jutsu to unleash powerful ranged attacks.

The collaboration will also introduce a dedicated Naruto-themed mode featuring locations inspired by the Hidden Leaf Village, along with a giant world boss — the Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama.

As a reminder, Cristiano Ronaldo recently appeared in the official promotional video for the Esports World Cup 2026.
