What to expect from the PUBC X BLACKPINK Collaboration
Last year, PUBG Mobile players had a two-week window to complete in-game missions to earn “support points” and unlock in-game outfits including the popular Killer Cadet Set and the Adorable Panda Suit. PUBG PC players can expect something similar with limited time cosmetics becoming available in-game. There were also autographed merchandise available for grabs with the PUBG Mobile event and players might be treated to something similar for the upcoming event for PUBG’s PC and console audience.
In the previous high-profile collaboration in PUBG PC, Tottenham Hotspur soccer player Son Heung-Min collaborated with the game and players got the opportunity to compete for a level three helmet signed by the player. There were also other in-game cosmetics on offer as part of the event. The upcoming PUBG X BLACKPINK event might do something similar and fans will have wait it and see what Krafton has in store for the community.
When is the PUBG BLACKPINK event taking place
PUBG revealed that upcoming event will kick off on 4 August for PC players and 12 August for console players. There is confirmation that collaboration bundles will be available as part of the upcoming event but Krafton is yet to confirm if players will get access to free limited-time cosmetics through challenges or not. Players should keep an eye out on PUBG social media handles for more teasers and event details that are likely to be shared leading up to the event.
