PUBG Mobile has just announced a new collaboration with the anime series One-Punch Man, because what’s a better way to spice up a battle royale game than with some good old-fashioned anime flair? The collaboration brings Saitama, Genos, and other heroes to the Battlegrounds, because who wouldn’t want to drop onto a map as a character who can take down anyone with, well, one punch? It’s not like the game needed more ways to make players feel overpowered or anything. The new character sets, vehicles, collectibles, and other themed goodies will surely be a hit with fans of the anime and the game alike, and by “hit” I mean they’ll be a great way for Tencent to make some extra cash off of microtransactions.
The Collaboration Details
The collaboration features a range of character sets inspired by the series’ most iconic characters, including Saitama and Genos, because who wouldn’t want to play as the main characters of the franchise? Players can also embody side-character heroes like Terrible Tornado, Hellish Blizzard, Garou Ver.1, and Garou Ver.2, because who doesn’t love a good side character? The Ordinary Hero Set, The Strongest Man on Earth Set, and Watchdog Man Set will also be available, because more sets mean more opportunities for players to spend their hard-earned cash. And let’s not forget about the One-Punch Man Parachute, Mumen Rider Bicycle, and Phoenix Man Glider, which will surely be a great way to show off one’s anime fandom while dropping onto the map.
Gameplay Additions
The collaboration also brings some new gameplay additions, including the Justice Enforcement and Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock moves, which let players recreate the impressive techniques and actions seen in the series. Because what’s a battle royale game without a little bit of anime-inspired flair, right? The One-Punch – Kar98K and Grocery Bag – Machete will also be available across three levels, because who doesn’t love a good gun skin? The additions are designed to bring even more recognizable details from the anime to the game, and by “recognizable details” I mean ways for Tencent to make more money off of microtransactions.
The Collaboration Timeline
The PUBG Mobile x One-Punch Man collaboration runs from September 20th, 2026, to October 19th, 2026, so players have a whole month to enjoy the new content and spend all their money on microtransactions. More information about the collaboration, including how to download and get into the game, can be found on the official game website, because who doesn’t love a good webpage full of corporate PR speak? The collaboration is sure to be a hit with fans of the anime and the game alike, and by “hit” I mean it’ll be a great way for Tencent to line their pockets with even more cash.
In conclusion, the PUBG Mobile x One-Punch Man collaboration is a match made in heaven, or rather, a match made in the depths of a corporate boardroom where executives are trying to figure out ways to make more money off of gamers. But hey, who can blame them? After all, as the great philosopher once said, “you can’t have too much of a good thing,” and by “good thing” I mean microtransactions and anime collaborations. So go ahead, drop onto the map as Saitama, and show the world what you’re made of – or rather, show the world what you’re willing to spend your money on.
