The Naruto Shippuden Collaboration: “Ninjas Assemble”
The Version 4.5 of the official crossover is highlighted by Naruto Shippuden. It completely replaces the Severny region of Erangel with a recreation of Hidden Leaf Village (Konoha), including landmarks such as Hokage Rock. We also find smaller easter Saturday touches from around Livik and Sanhok.
The Chakra System
All players who jump into the themed mode will see a Chakra bar next to their health HUD. Key mechanics include:
- Chakra depletes when using Jutsu abilities or Ninja Run, and regenerates naturally over time
- Ichiraku Ramen, found scattered across the map, restores Chakra instantly
- Leveling up during a match raises your Chakra cap and regeneration speed
- Ninja Run unlocks automatically for everyone, boosting movement speed and jump height, and allowing players to sprint across water — teammates can latch on and follow
Ninjutsu Abilities
Ninjutsu techniques unlock in phases between July 9 and July 14. Confirmed abilities include:
- Flying Raijin Jutsu — a teleportation ability using a thrown kunai, which can combo with Rasengan
- Rasengan and Chidori — signature offensive techniques
- Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu — a ranged, explosive fire attack
- Earth Style: Mud Wall (Dog Head Version) — a defensive wall, taught in-game by Kakashi
- Shadow Clone Jutsu — creates decoys to confuse enemies
- Substitution Jutsu — a passive ability that swaps you with a wooden log and grants brief invincibility when your health drops critically low
- Reanimation Jutsu (Edo Tensei) — deploys devices that can revive eliminated teammates without a Recall Tower
Players find these abilities by collecting Jutsu Scrolls scattered across the battleground once they select the Naruto-themed mode.
Boss Fight: Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox
The upgrade features a world boss fight against Kurama, one of the strongest Tailed Beasts in Naruto. Players can connect with Squads to battle Kurama in matches for themed prizes.
Skins, Voice Packs, and Rewards
Immediately Nuts & Bolts utilizes Mythic-quality character skins and cosmetics include Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura, and Itachi numerous voice packs and even house emotes. There’s also a Brothers in Arms Rally Order community event that runs from July 17, allowing players to make progress toward communal prize goals by bringing others into Naruto mode.
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day Collaboration
This is PUBG Mobile’s second crossover with Spidey, following the 2022 No Way Home event. Confirmed gameplay features include:
- Web-Shooters — swing between buildings and cross gaps, with an upgraded wall-climbing mechanic
- Web Grenades — throwables that slow or immobilize enemies, useful for squad fights and closing circles
The event is running alongside the theatrical premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and like those Naruto bits modifies much of the gameplay on Erangel’s existing map instead of being a standalone a la bizarro.
Other Version 4.5 Additions
- Scuderia Ferrari HP collaboration — new supercar-themed vehicle skins, launching July 10
- World of Wonder — new Naruto Shippuden-themed creation templates and asset integration for map creators
- Metro Royale Chapter 33 — Naruto-inspired encounters and seasonal progression
- Home Mode — the new Seashell Bay Home Style, Home Competitions, and Style Voting activities
