PUBG Mobile x Attack on Titan Collaboration: Full Details, Features, and Release Timeline
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. -
