Naruto Shippuden Returns With New Anime Short After 9-Year Hiatus Studio Pierrot, the anime studio behind the Naruto franchise, has unveiled its first new anime short in nearly a decade, marking the return of the series in collaboration with PUBG Mobile. The short, released alongside the game’s Version 4.5 update, features iconic characters Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Kakashi Hatake as they attempt to retrieve an airdrop tied to the PUBG series. Their mission quickly turns chaotic when they encounter Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, and an unnamed stand-in for PUBG. The situation escalates further with the unexpected arrival of Sasuke Uchiha, reigniting his rivalry with Naruto in a high-stakes showdown. The crossover event, titled PUBG Mobile x Naruto: Shippuden, runs from July 9 to September 7, 2026. It introduces a themed mode called Ninjas Assemble, which integrates elements from the Naruto series into the game’s gameplay. Players can explore meticulously recreated locations such as Hokage Rock, Naruto’s Apartment, the Hokage’s Residence, and the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, alongside iconic scenes from the anime like the Ninja Academy, Hidden Leaf Hospital, and the Valley of the End. The mode also includes unique mechanics, such as ninjutsu abilities and encounters with the Nine-Tails, one of PUBG Mobile’s largest giveaways. Additional updates for Version 4.5 include the Scuderia Ferrari HP event starting July 10, expanded World of Wonder updates with exclusive Naruto templates, and the launch of Metro Royale Chapter 33, which features Naruto-inspired encounters. Players will also unlock new Home Mode content, including the Seashell Bay Home Style and seasonal rewards. Seasonal events like Season 31, Ultimate Royale, and Crazy Chicken Day are also part of the update, alongside gameplay enhancements.#studio_pierrot #pubg_mobile #naruto_uzumaki #sakura_haruno #kakashi_hatake
PUBG Mobile Introduces Ancient Greek-Themed Mode and Major Game Updates PUBG Mobile’s Version 4.4 update brings a new themed mode inspired by ancient Greek legends, alongside significant gameplay upgrades and social features. The Hero’s Crown mode transforms iconic locations like Erangel, Livik, and Rondo into Greek-inspired zones, featuring themed combat areas, challenges, and exploration opportunities. Key locations such as Yasnaya Polyana, Ruins, Ferry Pier, and Mylta have been redesigned to reflect the mythological setting. At the heart of the mode is the Crown’s Abode, a floating island where players compete for rewards and face the centaur Helios. Matches involve earning Glory through themed trials, including Achilles’ Trial (speed and precision dash gameplay), Spartan’s Trial (defending against enemy waves), Prometheus’ Trial (lighting the Sacred Fire), and Icarus’ Trial (aerial obstacle challenges). Gryphon Trials scattered across the map offer additional rewards through football-inspired mini-games. Players can also collect themed items like the Heart of Fury, which grants a powerful forward dash and combat buffs, the Battle Flag, which creates a support zone for teammates, and Wax Wings, enabling gliding across the map. The Laurel – M1 Garand weapon features enhanced abilities and evolving visual effects tied to Glory progression. Defeating Helios unlocks the centaur warrior as an ally, granting ranged attacks, healing abilities, and charging assaults. The Classic Mode receives several improvements, including the Roadster, a new two-seater convertible with a turbo boost system available across multiple maps. The Panzerfaust expands to additional locations and sees gameplay refinements, while the JS9 weapon appears in more areas.#pubg_mobile #hero_crown_mode #centaur_helios #flash_crew #world_of_wonder
