KRAFTON JAPAN's recent activity is built on PUBG MOBILE collaborations with Nijisanji VTubers, the most recent running from September 9 to November 6 with Kuzuha. The company also shipped a major Mimesis update on June 16, 2026, changing how its AI monster behaves and how the game is structured.
KRAFTON JAPAN's coverage over the past months splits into two tracks: PUBG MOBILE crossovers with Nijisanji talent, and a structural overhaul of the co-op horror game Mimesis. The PUBG MOBILE track started with a collaboration announced on August 12, 2026, featuring VTubers Fuwa Minato, Ibrahim, and Lauren Iroas. That run lasted from August 12 to September 11, 2026, at 08:59, with costume sets, voice cards, and Pubu Niku mascot items distributed through in-game crates and a login event.
Kuzuha then followed, with a collaboration running from September 9 to November 6. His items include costume skins, weapon skins, voice cards, and a hoverboard, all designed by Kuzuha. Some are gacha-exclusive, while others come from login and play events. Across both collaborations, KRAFTON JAPAN has kept the same item model: skins and voice cards, gacha pulls for some, free items for logging in.
The Mimesis update on June 16, 2026 moved in a different direction. It improved the AI-driven monster's decision-making, added individual monster personalities, and replaced fixed 3-day progression cycles with a flexible structure. Dungeon interiors were expanded, and the spectator system was revamped so eliminated players can possess monsters.
What connects the three is KRAFTON JAPAN's use of in-game item drops and design changes rather than new titles. The VTuber collaborations extend PUBG MOBILE toward VTuber audiences, while the Mimesis update changes the game's core structure. Both PUBG MOBILE collaborations overlap by two days, from September 9 to September 11.

KRAFTON JAPAN announced a collaboration between PUBG MOBILE and Nijisanji VTuber Kuzuha, running from September 9 to November 6. Items include costume skins, weapon skins, voice cards, and a hoverboard, all designed by Kuzuha. Some items are gacha-exclusive, while others come from login and play events.
KRAFTON JAPAN announced on August 12, 2026, that PUBG MOBILE has started a collaboration with three Nijisanji VTubers: Fuwa Minato, Ibrahim, and Lauren Iroas. The collaboration runs from August 12 to September 11, 2026, at 08:59. During this period, the game will feature costume skins, voice cards, and other collaboration-exclusive items for each VTuber, as well as items themed around the game's mascot Pubu Niku. The items are obtainable through in-game crates (gacha) with a certain probability, or by exchanging coins earned from those crates. A login event is also planned, where players can get Pubu Niku voice cards and gacha items for free just by logging in. The announcement includes sample voice card lines for each VTuber, such as Fuwa Minato's "Won't you be my friend? Hey, come here," and Lauren Iroas's "I'll create it. A legend." The collaboration items list includes three costume sets, three voice cards, a Pubu Niku voice card, a Pubu Niku bag, helmet, UZI skin, parachute, sprays, and more.
