Two of the biggest online games are teaming up to celebrate the launch of Netflix's Arcane series, a League of Legends animated spin-off. PUBG Mobile will feature items, characters, and locations from the show, starting in mid-November with the 1.7 update.
"We're extremely excited to be partnering with Riot Games to celebrate its first-ever League of Legends animated series," head of PUBG Mobile publishing Vincent Wang stated. "Runeterra is one of the most beloved universes in gaming, and to be able to bring that magic to PUBG Mobile while also supporting the release of Arcane is an amazing opportunity. We've got a lot in store for our players, including some completely new gameplay features we've never experimented with before, so we can't wait to show off more."
You can pick up PUBG Mobile for free on the App and Google Play Store for iOS and Android. It's the sister to one of the first battle royales that initially launched in 2017 known simply as PUBG - makes sense, eh? Arcane, meanwhile, is a television show being produced by Netflix and Riot Games. It's an animated series based on League of Legends, set in the same world - the aforementioned Runeterra.
But it's not just PUBG that's celebrating the release of Arcane. Riot Games' own League of Legends is hosting a month-long celebration across all of its titles called RiotX.
It begins with the League of Legends World Championship which will feature performances from Imagine Dragons, Bea Miller, JID, and Denzel Curry. If you watch the global premiere on Twitch, there will be several drops such as an Arcane Capsule for LoL, a Tear Emote for Wild Rift, the FIshbones Gun Buddy for Valorant, the Jayce Emote for Legends of Runeterra, and the Gizmos & Gadget Little Legends Egg for Teamfight Tactics.
The premiere is being hosted at Twitch on November 6 at 5:30 PM PT while the show itself will debut at 7 PM PT. If you're a League and PUBG fan, November is packed full of goodies for you to find and collect.
