PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS to Feature Jujutsu Kaisen Crossover Starting August 10
Krafton announced on August 8 that PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS will launch a collaboration with the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen, set to go live with an update on August 10. The crossover will introduce character-themed in-game items alongside event-exclusive content.
The collaboration integrates elements of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe into Erangel, the battle royale game's signature map. Rather than simply releasing character-based cosmetic items, Krafton has designed the update so players naturally encounter collaboration content while moving through and fighting across Erangel.
Krafton first previewed the partnership in a main trailer released on August 7. Starting August 10, select areas of Erangel will receive a Jujutsu Kaisen-themed visual overhaul, including thematic spaces and staging elements. The update will also introduce character costumes and progressive weapon skins tied to the anime.
During the collaboration period, players can complete missions as part of an event to earn items. The event will run on PC from August 10 to September 14, while console players will be able to participate from September 17 to October 22.
A Krafton representative stated, "This collaboration was designed to expand the gameplay experiences PUBG has built over time while enhancing player immersion." The representative added, "We will continue to deliver PUBG's distinctive brand of fun through a variety of collaborative content going forward."
Additional details are available on the official PUBG cafe.
