KRAFTON's 'PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS' (PUBG) has launched a collaboration with SHIFT UP's 'Stellar Blade.

On the 8th, KRAFTON announced via the official PUBG website that the collaboration is now live, with Stellar Blade protagonist 'Eve' joining the game as a Contender.

Unlike previous 'Contender' items added to PUBG, the 'Eve' skin is an 'Ultimate Contender' based on a 'growth' system. It starts with a base appearance that changes as the level increases, with the designs based on other outfits from Stellar Blade. As with previous collaborations, the Eve skin can be obtained through a draw after purchasing loot packs.

In addition to the Eve collaboration, PUBG has introduced several updates, including the 'Xeno Point' mode, where players must defend Erangel from an mysterious alien invasion; terrain destruction on the Erangel map; a new hybrid scope; adjustments to the base horizontal and vertical recoil of the Dragunov; and the Emergency Supply Flare Gun, which allows players to call in a care package.

PUBG: Battlegrounds, which is collaborating with Stellar Blade, is a battle royale game developed by KRAFTON. It launched in Steam Early Access in March 2017, saw its official release that December, and has since sold 75 million copies. The game is currently in the process of transitioning from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5.
