M416 “Ninja God” and golden skins: who’s returning to PUBG Mobile 4.5
The main target for most players is once again the M416 “Ninja God.” This iconic upgradable weapon with a unique upgrade animation and visuals that stand out in the lobby. Last time, it was snapped up instantly. Now, those who missed out have a second chance.
The list of rumored returns also includes the golden “Ninja Spirit” costume and the “Jade Swordswoman” outfit. Plus, the AMR “Silence of the Dead” is an upgradable sniper rifle with a long history in PUBG Mobile. Which one will appear first is still up in the air. Everything will become clearer closer to the beta launch.

Naruto x PUBG Mobile Collaboration: A Crossover That’s Been Anticipated for Years
Perhaps the most significant story of the update. Naruto is coming to PUBG Mobile—and judging by the inside information, Krafton is taking this seriously. Leaks have already revealed skins for Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Sakura. If they add themed missions and anime modes, this crossover could very well be the event of the year in mobile battle royales.

By the way, the hints also hinted at Spider-Man, despite the long-standing tensions between the brands. Coincidence? Unlikely. Apparently, version 4.5 is targeting several fandoms at once.
What else will be added in the PUBG Mobile 4.5 update?
The list isn’t limited to ninja and anime themes. The update will add several more activities:
-
Water Event – the return of the beloved seasonal mode with water locations and special gameplay mechanics. The community has been asking for this for a long time.

-
Ferrari Boost Roulette – a car event that traditionally sparks the thrill of the hunt among PUBG Mobile skin collectors.
Krafton is clearly hoping to reach multiple audiences at once. The calculation is clear and, it must be said, quite smart.
When will PUBG Mobile 4.5 be released?
There is no official release date yet. All information is based on leaks and community discussions – Krafton and PUBG Mobile have not officially confirmed anything. By all indications, the beta test could start in the coming weeks. Update 4.5 has every chance of becoming one of the top updates of 2026: the ninja theme plus the long-awaited Naruto crossover make for a serious contender. Stay tuned to Krafton’s official channels.
