PUBG MOBILE is pleased to announce the release of Version 1.6 today, which includes a spread of new additions to the game, from exciting partnerships with big names across music, film, and gaming, to new and returning gameplay maps and modes – including the grand return of ice-blown map Vikendi.

From today, Flora Menace will introduce an infestation of alien Yarilo plants to Erangel, leading to players taking part in epic battles against each other onboard the alien spaceship Cell Matrix for random weapon drops. Meanwhile, the eagerly awaited return of six other game modes, like Metro Royale: Reunion and Titans: Last Stand, will be staggered throughout September and October.

In addition, PUBG MOBILE is continuing its successful partnership with international DJ Alan Walker by bringing exclusive music and outfits to the game, alongside other upcoming partnerships with DUNE and Kartrider Rush+.

PUBG MOBILE has today officially launched Version 1.6, featuring:

  • An all-new gameplay mode: Flora Menace
  • The return of Vikendi
  • The comeback of Metro Royale: Reunion, Titans: Last Stand, Survive Till Dawn, Payload 2.0, Runic Power, and Infection Mode
  • Crossovers and partnerships with Alan Walker, KartRider Rush+, Legendary Entertainment’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and DUNE.
  • The upcoming Royale Pass Seasons
  • A number of gameplay changes and optimizations

Long term PUBG MOBILE fans will also likely see some of their favorite game modes return, as seven beloved game modes have been added back into the game for a limited time. Players are also set for some exciting new collaborations, as the Version 1.6 update will see the return of Alan Walker and Godzilla vs. Kong, alongside new partnerships with KartRider Rush+, and the upcoming star-studded blockbuster DUNE.

Beware: Erangel has been invaded! Alien Yarilo plants have taken over the map and it’s now up to players to fight back! In this special game mode, Yarilo parent plants will randomly appear in urban map areas, creating Rejuvenation Barriers that boost and regenerate player health. Erangel will also host the Cell Matrix, an alien spaceship flying high above the map. Players can board the ship by finding Cells spread throughout the map, then fight other players once onboard for awesome random weapon drops, with simultaneously earning Nacore Chips.

Nacore Chips are used for the all-new DynaHex Supplies system, which allows players to order combat supplies to a specific location. There are limited respawns on the Cell Matrix, so players who run out will be ejected back down to the ground. After a designated amount of time, the Cell Matrix will begin docking. Those who manage to survive will continue battles with others among multiple spaceships.

The Flora Menace invasion will begin on Erangel today, and then continue its incursion into Sanhok on September 18th followed by Livik on September 22nd. The Cell Matrix will only appear in Erangel.
