After weeks of leaks, speculation, and anticipation, PUBG Mobile has finally confirmed one of its most ambitious crossovers to date: a collaboration with Attack on Titan (AOT). Launched globally as part of the PUBG Mobile 3.8 update in early May 2025, this partnership brings colossal new gameplay mechanics, themed maps, cosmetics, and a bold reimagining of the battle royale experience.
Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) players will also experience the crossover shortly after the global release.

Let’s dive deep into everything you need to know about the PUBG Mobile x Attack on Titan collaboration — from Titan transformations to new prize paths!

Humanity’s Battle Reimagined in Battle Royale

The collaboration was first teased through a cryptic post on PUBG Mobile’s social media channels on April 21, 2025, quoting a famous line from Attack on Titan: On that day, mankind received a grim reminder.”

While initial details were scarce, beta testers and community leakers quickly uncovered a treasure trove of information. BGMI Mobile has not only introduced new character skins but also reworked parts of its maps, added new game modes, and infused gameplay with fresh AOT-inspired mechanics that dramatically change how matches unfold.

This is no ordinary cosmetic collaboration — it fundamentally alters the battle royale experience.

Key Features of the PUBG Mobile x Attack on Titan Crossover

1. Titan Transformation Mechanic

One of the biggest gameplay changes is the introduction of the Titan Potion.

Players can find Titan Potions at special hot-drop zones, particularly near Mylta and the Shooting Range on Erangel.
Upon consuming the potion, players transform into Titans for a limited time.
While in Titan form, players have enhanced strength, allowing them to crush enemies and survive intense firefights with ease.
The transformation offers a massive tactical advantage but must be used wisely due to its time limit.

This mechanic brings a unique PvEvP (Player vs Environment vs Player) twist to matches — you’re fighting both enemy players and massive threats simultaneously.

2. Mechanical Hooks (ODM Gear)

Inspired directly by AOT’s legendary Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) Gear, PUBG Mobile introduces the Mechanical Hook system.

Players can zip across buildings, scale cliffs, and ambush enemies with aerial assaults.
Mechanical Hooks greatly boost mobility and vertical gameplay, allowing for quicker repositioning and smarter engagements.
This item is expected to become a fan-favorite, opening up new strategies in both urban and open-area maps.

It feels like stepping into the boots of the Survey Corps, flying through the skies to defeat your enemies.

3. Steampunk Frontier Mode

Alongside the Titan invasion, PUBG Mobile introduces a new thematic game mode called Steampunk Frontier.

Features of Steampunk Frontier:

Aetherholm:
A massive steampunk-themed train station featuring working elevators and hidden rooms for loot and tactical advantage.
Cargo Hub:
A dense, urban battlefield linked by railway tracks, offering intense close-quarters combat.
Hot Air Balloons:
Players can board balloons to gain aerial vantage points, useful for sniping or spotting enemies from above.
Moving Trains:
- Epoch Cargo Train: Transports valuable loot across the map.
- Express Train: Loops around the battlefield, offering mobile cover and combat opportunities.

This mode blends intense traditional PUBG gameplay with anime fantasy, delivering something truly fresh.

4. Maps Featuring Titans

Titans aren’t limited to just Erangel.
The Titan transformation and other AOT features are available across multiple maps, including:

Erangel
Livik
Sanhok

Each environment offers different challenges — from dense forests to open fields — making Titan battles unique depending on the terrain.

Community Reaction

The community’s early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

However, there has been some minor criticism:

A few players feel that the more stylized gun skins look “too alien” compared to PUBG’s realistic aesthetic.
Despite this, the overall sentiment is that the Attack on Titan collaboration is one of PUBG Mobile’s most ambitious and successful anime crossovers.

Given Attack on Titan’s history of collaborations with other games like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Call of Duty Mobile, it’s clear the franchise continues to resonate strongly across the global gaming community.
