Originally announced in 2022, The PUBG Mobile and Dragon Ball Super crossover event will finally land as part of the game’s 2.7 update. Arriving on July 13, 2023, the update will bring new game modes, character skins, items, and vehicles, as well as an anime-themed map. More news from the partnership is due to be revealed on August 11, 2023.
The first of two new game modes is the Dragon Ball Super themed mode, which tasks players with collecting Dragon Balls hidden around PUBG maps in order to gain powerful buffs by summoning Shenron. The second mode is called Battle Royal: Dragon Ball Super mode and will allow players to take control of one of five classic Dragon Ball characters. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza and Ultimate Gohan will be available. Each character has their own abilities, and we can upgrade them by collecting Spirit Crystals while using several new traversal options like Teleport points and Updraft. On July 14, 2023, several special outfits and items will become available in the PUBG Mobile store, including outfits based on Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Pilaf and Karin.
