PUBG Mobile is about to receive one of its most exciting updates, thanks to its collaboration with Naruto. Many leaks surfaced before the beta update, but after exploring the beta version myself, I can say that no one expected the collaboration to be this extensive. In this article, we will discuss the PUBG Mobile 4.5 update release date, new features, powers, skins, and the expected premium crates.
PUBG v4.5 official Release Date
Despite the delay of the previous version, players were expecting to receive the upcoming update around July 19. However, the official social media channels confirmed that the 4.5 update will be released on July 9, 2026.
The game is currently in beta testing. Version 4.5.3 has been slightly delayed by the developers. However, this will not affect the stable rollout. Players who opt in can test new powers, features, and Theme Mode. They can also provide feedback to improve the game.
Naruto Theme Mode and special powers
PUBG Mobile × Naruto Shippuden collaboration is confirmed, but the developers have not yet confirmed the themed areas. However, they have added some new abilities and powers.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu: With this power, you can create a clone of yourself to confuse enemies and gain an advantage in battle. The best part is that you can switch between your clone and your real character at any time.
In close-range fights, if an enemy recognizes the clone and moves past it, you can quickly switch positions and attack from behind. Just imagine all four teammates creating clones while another squad rushes your team. With up to 12 characters moving around in a small area, the battlefield can quickly turn into complete chaos.
Flying Raijin Jutsu: When you pick up the item, you will see the knife icon on your screen. Just aim and press it to teleport to another location. The teleportation will be to a short distance.
Rasengan: When you use this item, the player dashes, carrying the blue power gives damage to the opponent.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu: With this power, the player throws the fireball from his mouth, which gives the Molotov Cocktail-like fire to the enemy.
Chidori: It’s a lightning-type power that gives damage to the player while dashing.
Earth Style Mud Wall: You can use this item to create the mud wall. It is useful when you have no cover, but remember it can be destroyed.
Icha Icha Paradise: It is a magic book that can be used to heal the player’s health. If your health is low, use this item, the character will connect the book to his chest, and your health will start recovering.
Special Ninjutsu Reanimation Jutsu: It is a rare item that summons up to three devices in front of you. It is used to recall your teammates.
PUBG x Spider-Man Return
The 4-year-old Spider-Man mode is making a strong comeback. As you know, PUBG also reintroduces one old mode in every season, so this time, the highly anticipated Spider-Man theme mode is coming at the end of July. In the beta version, developers added spider gloves that were previously not part of the mode, which means this time they are making some changes. You can quickly climb and move between buildings using the web shooter.
New Skins and Crates
At the start of every season, one of the most anticipated things is premium skins. Many players redeem silver coins for premium coupons every day so they can collect as many crates as possible to get good upgradeable guns and materials. As the next version is coming out in the summer, let’s take a look at which skins might make a comeback.
- Field Commander – AWM
- Glided Jade Dragon – DP-28
Since the next mode is Ninja-themed, the developers may bring back Shinobi Kami or Silver Guru as ultimate skins.
Note: PUBG started a new system, now every repeated gun is bringing the Team Broadcast message along with the Elimination Broadcast.
Dark Mummy suit: A new Dark Mummy Suit is coming in July. After the Yellow and Glacier mummy suites, it will be the favorite one because of its unique appearance and the hype created by YouTubers.
