Krafton Inc. has released a new update into PUBG Mobile today that adds new content and crossovers from Dune and Alan Walker. There's so much to unpack in this update that just trying to run all of it down in a concise manner was a take unto itself, but we have the major bullet points for you here along with some images and a new trailer. Basically, you're getting an alien invasion, map updates, a DJ crossover, two IP events from other games and franchises, a few new events, and more. We're actually kind of surprised the company just released the info today without a lot of build-up or fanfare about it. Enjoy the new additions that go into effect as soon as you update the game on iOS or Android.

Beware: Erangel has been invaded! Alien Yarilo plants have taken over the map and it's now up to players to fight back! In this special game mode, Yarilo parent plants will randomly appear in urban map areas, creating Rejuvenation Barriers that boost and regenerate player health. Erangel will also host the Cell Matrix, an alien spaceship flying high above the map. Players can board the ship by finding Cells spread throughout the map, then fight other players once onboard for awesome random weapon drops, with simultaneously earning Nacore Chips.

Nacore Chips are used for the all-new DynaHex Supplies system, which allows players to order combat supplies to a specific location. There are limited respawns on the Cell Matrix, so players who run out will be ejected back down to the ground. After a designated amount of time, the Cell Matrix will begin docking. Those who manage to survive will continue battles with others among multiple spaceships.
