aespa are bringing their futuristic style straight into the battleground. PUBG MOBILE has announced a collaboration with the global K-pop group that runs from today through June 30, dropping a full slate of aespa-themed in-game content for a limited time. The tie-up pulls the group’s bold visual identity and chart-topping sound into one of the world’s most popular mobile games.
The centerpiece is a collectible in-game album featuring aespa’s hit tracks “Whiplash” and “Dark Arts,” both usable as lobby music. Players can also recreate the group’s choreography through dance emotes inspired by those songs, while outfits modeled on KARINA, GISELLE, WINTER, and NINGNING let fans show off aespa’s unmistakable look. Individual voice packs for each member round out the personal touches.
“Dark Arts” carries some history here. It originally debuted in July 2025 as the collaboration track for aespa x PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and quickly became a fan favorite. After a successful rollout in Japan and Korea earlier this year, the track and its themed content now launch worldwide. Fans can unlock the “Dark Arts” album through the PUBG MOBILE Global Open Event, with “Whiplash” available via the Perk Exchange system.
The collaboration goes deep on collectibles. A limited-time Prize Path serves up aespa-themed items including a customized frying pan, a firearm skin, and a helmet, rounding out the lineup with a full run of rewards. The whole package is the kind of crossover that meets a global fanbase right where it already plays. The PUBG MOBILE x aespa event is live in-game from June 1 to 30, free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
