LONDON - November 11th, 2026 - PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is excited to reveal its Version 4.7 update, bringing mythical encounters, icy adventures and festive celebrations to the game. Running until January 12th, 2027, Version 4.7 introduces the new Arctic Chronicles themed mode, with Erangel Subzero arriving December 3rd and Frost Festival and New Year celebrations following throughout the season. Alongside fresh World of Wonder experiences and Classic Mode improvements, Version 4.7 also brings new collaborations and seasonal surprises.

Seal the Ancient Beast in Arctic Chronicles

Version 4.7 introduces Arctic Chronicles, a new themed mode that transforms parts of Pochinki, Rozhok and Mansion with Norse-inspired architecture, as the colossal Ancient Beast makes its presence felt across Erangel. Once the two Sealing Towers ensnared by the Ancient Beast have been shot down and the pedestals within activated to restore the seals, players can enter the beast itself through its open mouth, a shared space where combat is disabled, and Hero's Medal holders can claim the themed Pegasus mount. Parts of the Ancient Beast can also be discovered across Erangel, where players can uncover hidden supplies, open up caves for exploration and use sections of its body to travel quickly across the map.

Players can also unlock Glyph Abilities, passive skills that offer advantages in combat, from faster healing and reloading to improved supply detection. Each player receives a random ability at the start of a match, with some also receiving Wolf Spirit and Aurora Pegasus items at random. Additional abilities can be found at Glyph Pedestals or in loot crates, while collecting Power Feathers increases the chances of receiving higher-level skills. Near the Ancient Beast, the Aurora Blink allows players to double jump, short dash, and ride an aurora rail at high speed along the beast's body.

Players can also take to the skies on the Aurora Pegasus, an aerial and ground vehicle that can be summoned at any time and takes flight with a double jump. In the Aurora Realm, the Pegasus transforms, unlocking new flight capabilities. The Fanged Wolf Spirit can also be summoned using the Oath Seal item, following manual or voice-activated commands to scout, attack enemies, collect and deliver supplies, guard, heal and rescue downed teammates. During the Aurora Realm event, eliminated players can chase starlight for a chance to return to the match.

Fan-favourite Ninja Penguin PowNin also returns from November 19th with new abilities, including an Umbrella Blade that blocks enemy fire, canned sardines to share with teammates and even the ability for players to give him a warm hug.

Players can also look forward to PUBG MOBILE FLASH launching on November 13th as a new official lightweight app offering players an alternative entry point into the PUBG MOBILE ecosystem. With a smaller initial download size, simplified lobby and resource displays, and greater control over downloads and device storage, PUBG MOBILE FLASH offers players a streamlined way to enjoy the original PUBG MOBILE experience, including Classic Battle Royale gameplay. Players can also use their existing PUBG MOBILE accounts and team up with friends across both applications. Players can stay tuned for more exciting details on PUBG MOBILE FLASH coming soon.

Erangel Feels the Chill

From December 3rd, Erangel Subzero brings a deep freeze to the island. After an experiment goes wrong, Tythonic satellites come crashing down onto Erangel, releasing cryogenic gas that transforms the climate and even the Blue Zone. Stalber, Shelter, Sosnovka Military Base and Boatyard have all been transformed by the fallout, with dynamic weather changes and snowy environments bringing new challenges to Erangel.

Satellite Crashes strike five times a match, generating smaller Blue Zones and offering exclusive cold-weather items, such as the Thermal Protection Suit, which shields its wearer from Blue Zone damage until its durability runs out. Some doors and windows are frozen shut during blizzards and must be broken through, while destructible snow piles can be cleared by vehicles or reinforced into frozen cover.

New items also include the BZ Grenade, which creates its own small Blue Zone, the Liquid Nitrogen Bottle, which replaces the Molotov Cocktail with a faster, frost-spreading alternative, and Snow Mist Ammo fired with the Grenade Launcher. From December 3rd, players can also take to the slopes of Vikendi with the new Snowboard, while the Snowmobile and Snowbike offer new ways to explore Erangel, with anti-skid tyres providing greater stability on icy terrain.

Fresh Upgrades in Classic Mode

Classic Mode gets a range of combat and quality-of-life improvements in Version 4.7. Vehicle camera behaviour has been improved when aiming down sights and during rollovers, while Staged Reload lets an interrupted empty-magazine reload pick up where it left off.

Healing items also receive improvements, with the Med Kit now lighter and faster to use, Bandages restoring more health in less time, and both the Adrenaline Syringe and Painkillers taking up less inventory space. The Battle Ready Kit from Rondo is also coming to Erangel, while in-match missions on Erangel benefit from improved crate deployment and excavation point locations.

Version 4.7 also introduces a new fishing feature, allowing players to catch different species of fish across bodies of water in the themed mode and Classic Erangel. Players can collect rare species to complete collection goals and unlock special rewards, with their catches displayed in the event gallery.

In celebration of the upcoming PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) 2026, Classic Mode gets a tournament-themed makeover. Players can visit an exhibition celebrating past champions at the PMGC Arena Photo Spot, team up to launch the champion's hot air balloon and trigger a special parachuting surprise. PMGC billboards and a themed plane cabin also bring the tournament celebrations into each match.

Festive Fun and Familiar Faces

The festive celebrations begin from December 12th with the Frost Festival Playground, where players can jump into snow piles, leave their mark and enjoy activities including the carousel, ice fishing and a slide. Additionally, the Frost Festival Crystal Ball can be thrown to create a Frost Festival Tree on the spot, which players can use as cover or to decorate the map.

To ring in the New Year, on December 31st at 20:00 local server time, a huge New Year Countdown will appear in the sky, followed by a fireworks show at midnight. Players can also launch their own fireworks with the New Year Firework Launcher, and enjoy the celebrations from the New Year Musical Fountain across themed and Classic Livik and Erangel maps, as well as Brainrot maps.

The action continues with the return of Godzilla from November 20th to January 12th, 2027, bringing a range of collaboration sets and items inspired by Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla, alongside the Godzilla Buddy, and more. Players can also look forward to taking the roads with British luxury car manufacturer Bentley from November 20th, while racing fans can also get behind the wheel of the Ferrari SF-25, available in World of Wonder (WOW) from November 26th to December 16th, with discounts and free limited-time trial cards available through in-game events.

Frost Festival Comes to World of Wonder

World of Wonder (WOW) gets a wintry makeover in Version 4.7, as Brainrot gameplay receives Frost Festival scenery, a new Frost Festival-style Base Finish, and 35 new Brainrot characters across the Laser and Bell Series. From December 10th, the beach party area transforms into Avalanche Escape, challenging players to dodge avalanches, earn rare Brainrots and collect Winter Coins to unlock faster ice skates. An Energy Shield can also be purchased in the Snow Shop and used to provide temporary protection from avalanches. Paint and Seek also joins the line-up, combining Hide and Seek with painting as players disguise themselves to blend into the scene, or play as hunters to find hidden opponents.

Creators also gain new tools to bring their ideas to life in WOW, with visual programming available to all members during collaborative editing sessions, an upgraded effect editor and new templates including Erangel School, Knock Out, Paint and Seek and F1 Vehicle Racing. A new promotion incentive lets eligible creators earn a share of revenue generated when players access their maps through exclusive sharing links, while the Mega-Popular Creation Grand Prize rewards creators whose maps attract new, returning and paying players.

Creation Resources have also been expanded, with players now able to transform into a bat with the new Bat Transformation ability. The Bomb Suit also reduces explosive damage, while upgrades to armed vehicles and the Man-portable Radar give creators more ways to experiment with their maps.

Snow Place Like Home Mode

Home Mode welcomes the new Frosted Splendor Home Style, bringing a range of new decorative items, alongside a new Craftsman's Pass. The Home Competition also returns, inviting players with at least 200 Home Prosperity to build their dream home, with submissions open until November 28th. A themed Style Voting event also gives eligible players the chance to win cash prizes and rewards.

The Action Doesn't Stop There

Season 33 arrives with updated tier rewards and an improved Promotion Match experience, alongside the return of Ultimate Royale in its Hardcore form for players who have reached Crown tier or above. A new Casual season also brings fresh opportunities to progress across Unranked Classic, Arena, WOW, Home and Arcade. Crazy Chicken Day has also been revamped, running every Friday to Sunday with weekly missions, Lucky Eggs and prize draws. A new Royale Pass, RP A22, also brings a custom colour outfit and upgradable weapon, alongside new rewards to unlock throughout Version 4.7.

Metro Royale receives a major upgrade in Version 4.7, led by the introduction of Seal City, a brand-new 1.8 x 1.8 km PvE map set in an abandoned town following a zombie virus outbreak. Players can explore the map as a single team or alongside up to five teams, facing 20 different enemies across four tiers, including three powerful bosses: Reaper Scorpion, Aberrant Vine and Wasteland Scavenger. A dynamic day-night cycle changes the behaviour of enemies across the map, bringing new challenges to each match. Randomly appearing High-Loot Zones offer valuable supplies, while High-Threat Zones introduce tougher enemies in exchange for greater rewards.

New tactical items also give players more ways to navigate these encounters. The Scream Grenade attracts nearby enemies, temporarily drawing their attention away from players, while the Stealth Syringe allows players to avoid enemy detection for a limited time. Reduced ammunition weight also makes it easier to manage supplies during combat and exploration.

Beyond the new map, Metro Royale introduces an expanded Gallery System with three new categories: Infected, Restricted Zone Stories and Special Trait. Players can uncover the story behind Seal City by eliminating enemies, extracting items and collecting Story Fragments. The Talent System has also been revamped into a new Talent Tree with three branches: Combat, Exploration and Survival, while the Fame level cap increases from 30 to 45. A redesigned Lobby offers a smaller storage footprint and smoother interactions, with the option to switch back to the Classic-style Lobby. These updates arrive alongside the new Metro Royale U-Chapter 0, running from November 13th, 2026 to January 12th, 2027.

Version 4.7 also introduces a range of new outfits, weapon finishes and rewards, including two new Gilt Sets. The Great Wolf Fenrir draws inspiration from Norse mythology, arriving alongside the first-ever upgradable S12K firearm finish, while a new ice-and-snow-themed Gilt Set is accompanied by a matching upgradable Groza firearm finish. Players can also discover a new X-Suit featuring three distinct forms and, for the first time, a hidden form, with the new Zenith form unlocked by fully upgrading all three.

From November 16th to December 13th, Cyber Week brings a range of limited-time offers and rewards. The Cyber VIP Card gives players access to an exclusive emote, vouchers, free draws and daily discounts, while CYBER FAMOUS FIREARMS offers additional draw reroll opportunities. Players can also earn points through missions, UC spending and in-game events, which can be redeemed for vouchers, outfits and other rewards. Additional releases include Royale Pass A22, new PMGC-themed sets and the Hola Buddy.

Version 4.7 also brings a range of system improvements, including updates to the Recruitment Team Lobby and Chat Recruitment Channel to help players find teammates more easily. Bluetooth headphone latency has also been reduced by up to 60% on some headphones running Android 16 and above. Players can also carry Lobby Team Voice into matches and keep chatting with friends after returning to the Lobby. The Settings page has also been reorganised for quicker access, while Arena Mode welcomes a new Ranked Arena season with fresh opportunities for players to compete and earn rewards.
