PUBG Mobile X Kaiju No. 8 Collab: Themed Sets, Upgraded Firearms & More!

What happens when survival tactics collide with monster-slaying courage? And how does one of the world’s biggest mobile games fuse its squad-driven action with an anime built on teamwork and resilience? That is exactly what the latest PUBG Mobile X Kaiju No. 8 event is set to answer.

Running from September 5 to September 30, 2025, this crossover is not just another flashy drop. It brings the essence of Kaiju No. 8, where humanity unites against overwhelming odds, directly into the heart of PUBG Mobile’s battlefields. With themed sets, kaiju-inspired skins, and evolving firearms, players have plenty to look forward to. But there is more beneath the surface than meets the eye.

PUBG Mobile X Kaiju No. 8 Collab Skins

The collaboration was officially revealed on PUBG Mobile’s X account at 5:30 AM on September 5 with the tagline “One Squad, Unstoppable Together!” That single line captures the essence of the event, emphasizing teamwork, strength, and identity. The crossover is not just about cosmetics; it is about stepping into the shoes of Kaiju No. 8’s heroes or embracing the monstrous chaos that threatens humanity.

And this is not limited to global servers. The rewards will also roll out in BGMI with the Version 4.0 Update, ensuring Indian players are equally part of the action.

At the heart of the event are four major pillars: squad-themed Defense Force uniforms, kaiju monster skins, upgradable weapon skins, and a wide collection of limited-time themed items. These items allow players to roleplay either side of Kaiju No. 8’s narrative, the disciplined Defense Force or the towering kaiju themselves.

The Prize Path event is the centerpiece, priced at 600 UC. The main attraction is the Kaiju No. 8 Set, a transformation outfit that lets players switch between Kafka Hibino’s human form and his monstrous Kaiju version. Alongside this, players can unlock the Kafka Hibino Character Set, the Kikoru Shinomiya Character Set, the Kaiju Backpack, the Kaiju Parachute, glowing Kaiju Helmet skins, and a Kikoru-themed machete. Smaller rewards like the Kaiju Frame, Kaiju Ornament, Molotov skin, and returning UC Vouchers and Lucky Coins add further value.

The Lucky Spin rewards raise the stakes with Mythic exclusives, including the Kaiju No. 9 Set and Kaiju No. 10 Set, the latter featuring a fiery red glow. Vehicles also get a monster twist with the Kaiju No. 9 Two-Seater Motorcycle and the Kaiju No. 10 Buggy. Players can chase collectibles like the Pteranodon Glider, Mysterious Larva Ornament, or rare character sets for Mina Ashiro, Reno Ichikawa, and Soshiro Hoshina. Melee fans can aim for the Defense Force Pan, while emote collectors will find the “Fired Up” emote, widely interpreted by the community as a nod to Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic celebration, alongside the Flustered Emote.

Weapon collectors have a standout prize in the Kaiju MG3 Skin, which includes on-hit effects and a custom elimination broadcast. Like the legendary Glacier M416, Kaiju firearms follow a progression model where players can unlock kill effects, new animations, and advanced textures through upgrades. These have become status symbols in the PUBG Mobile community.

The Lucky Coins system ties it all together. Coins obtained from spins can be used for Prize Path progression or exchanged for mini-materials and exclusive rewards. This ensures players are working toward guaranteed items rather than relying only on chance.

The timing is also key. The collab launches alongside the PUBG Mobile and BGMI Version 4.0 Update, one of the most content-heavy seasons in years. For regular players, it is a new grind. For anime fans, it is a way to experience Kaiju No. 8’s world beyond the manga and anime.

The manga itself debuted in 2020, telling the story of Kafka Hibino’s transformation into Kaiju No. 8 while Japan battles constant monster threats. With its blend of high-quality art, half-human, half-monster conflict, and action-packed storytelling, it quickly grew in popularity. The anime adaptation in 2024 only expanded its global reach.

By bringing this world into PUBG Mobile and BGMI, the collaboration fuses storytelling with competitive gameplay. With Mythic transformation sets, progression skins, thematic vehicles, and more, it stays true to the Kaiju No. 8 aesthetic while giving players fresh content.

The result is more than a crossover. It is an evolution of how collaborations shape player identity, living up to the tagline: One Squad, Unstoppable Together.

On PUBG Mobile’s side, the game continues to prove why it is more than a battle royale. With over 1 billion downloads and 10 billion dollars in lifetime revenue (Sensor Tower, 2024), it has built a culture where collaborations keep players engaged month after month. Esports also plays a role. Just last year, the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2024 pulled in 3.8 million concurrent viewers, making it one of the most-watched mobile tournaments worldwide. Also, PUBG Mobile 4.0 update brings new content with a new themed mode, weapons & more.

For Kaiju No. 8, this is another milestone in its rapid rise. The manga has sold more than 15 million copies globally since its 2020 debut, and the anime, animated by Production I.G., expanded its reach in 2024 with worldwide streaming. For a series built on courage, teamwork, and perseverance, PUBG Mobile is the perfect arena to extend that message.

Collaborations like these are not just about new outfits; they bring communities together. During past events like the Godzilla vs. Kong and Evangelion crossovers, PUBG Mobile saw spikes of 15 to 20 percent in revenue and millions of returning daily players. Given Kaiju No. 8’s global momentum, the September event is expected to follow the same trend.

At the end of the day, the real win is for players. Whether you want to lead your squad in Defense Force gear or charge into Erangel dressed like a kaiju, this crossover makes the battlefield feel bigger, bolder, and more connected to pop culture. It is not just about shooting; it is about standing together when it matters most.
