Halloween just got way darker for mobile gamers. In a surprise crossover that no one saw coming, PUBG Mobile has joined forces with Dying Light: The Beast, bringing the horror of the undead right into the world’s biggest mobile battle royale. This limited-time event merges two survival powerhouses into one creepy, adrenaline-fueled experience – and yes, it’s as wild as it sounds.
The collaboration runs from October 31 to November 21, 2025, and it’s not just a themed cosmetic drop. It’s a full-blown event packed with missions, zombie-infested modes, and exclusive rewards that will haunt you long after the last undead is slain.
Two Worlds Collide
At first glance, PUBG Mobile and Dying Light don’t exactly scream “perfect match.” One’s a tactical shooter where every bullet counts; the other’s a parkour-driven zombie survival game. But both are built on one foundation – staying alive when everything’s out to get you.
This event blends PUBG’s competitive mayhem with Dying Light’s nightmarish world of infection and fear. The result is something unique – a battle royale that doesn’t just challenge your aim but your nerve.
Players logging into PUBG Mobile during the event will immediately feel the shift. The atmosphere changes – the sky darkens, eerie fog rolls in, and distant groans of the undead replace the usual ambient noise. The battlegrounds have turned into hunting grounds, and you’re not the only one being hunted.
The Horror Comes to PUBG Mobile
The new “Zombie Uprising” mode is where the magic – or madness – begins. Familiar maps like Erangel and Livik have been transformed into infected warzones. As night falls, zombies emerge from the shadows – straight out of Dying Light: The Beast – complete with Biters, Virals, and the monstrous Chargers.
It’s no longer just about dodging bullets. Now, you’re clearing buildings filled with snarling undead, fighting off player ambushes, and praying you have enough ammo to make it till dawn. The mix of PvP and PvE makes every round unpredictable.
Killing zombies grants you temporary power-ups and event points, which can be traded for special Dying Light-themed cosmetics – including glowing weapon skins, creepy outfits, and exclusive charms. While rewards vary by region, most players can unlock at least one permanent item for completing event missions.
And yes, there’s one major twist – during certain moments in the match, a massive “infected storm” rolls across the map, forcing players into smaller safe zones while hordes of undead chase them down. Think of it as PUBG’s blue zone… but full of teeth.
The Infection Spreads to Dying Light: The Beast
The crossover doesn’t stop at PUBG Mobile. Over in Dying Light: The Beast, the event introduces a special side quest called “Skillet.” It becomes available after completing the main mission “Power Gambit.”
In this quest, players explore Castor Woods, where strange PUBG-style airdrops have started falling – and they’re not full of loot this time. Instead, they’re packed with trouble. You’ll fight your way through hostile factions and infected waves, scavenging for supplies while uncovering what’s behind this bizarre crossover.
Activating the event through Techland’s Pilgrim Outpost site unlocks a lineup of exclusive gear:
- Airdrop Finder Car Skin – your new apocalypse-ready ride.
- Marked Man Outfit – an outfit with bonus damage boosts.
- Battle Royale Bat – a melee weapon perfect for smashing zombie skulls.
- Killing Pan – yes, the iconic PUBG frying pan has arrived in Dying Light’s world.
These items are more than collectibles; they actually enhance your in-game performance. But they won’t stick around forever – most rewards expire on January 15, 2026, making them true seasonal treasures.
Why Fans Are Losing Their Minds
Crossovers in gaming are nothing new, but this one hits differently. It’s not just about tossing a few skins into a store. This event changes gameplay on both sides – PUBG Mobile’s matches feel scarier and more cinematic, while Dying Light’s missions now feature PUBG’s survival flavor.
The timing is perfect too. Halloween events often rely on cheap scares, but this collaboration goes deeper. It blends lore, gameplay mechanics, and atmosphere. Dying Light’s infected fit naturally into PUBG’s battleground chaos, while PUBG’s gear and weaponry feel right at home in Dying Light’s gritty universe.
The crossover also highlights how flexible both games have become. PUBG Mobile continues to evolve beyond just being a battle royale, while Dying Light: The Beast keeps proving it can mix horror with creativity.
