The battlegrounds is overflowing with large amounts of cursed energy right now as PUBG Mobile has released its much-awaited collaboration with popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a dark fantasy, supernatural anime series about Jujutsu Sorcerers battling cursed spirits. They do so by utilizing secret techniques to manipulate cursed energy. Most famously, the series features one of the strongest anime characters of all time, Gojo Satoru.
The anime’s popularity peaked during the Fall 2020 anime season. Because of its massive success, it was followed by the release of the prequel movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which broke records as the highest-grossing film of 2021 in Japan at US$91M.

Other PUBG Mobile collaborations
This is not the first time that PUBG Mobile has teamed up with an anime series. Its Japan server collaborated with Code Geass last year, launching sets and skins inspired by the Sunrise mecha anime.
Tencent’s mobile battle royale game has also collaborated with other intellectual properties in the past like the Godzilla vs Kong movie and K-pop sensation Blackpink.
In the meantime, JJK anime fans can look forward to the official Jujutsu Kaisen mobile game “Phantom Parade”. It will be a free-to-play RPG title developed by Sumzap, the developers behind the KonoSuba game, another anime series that was adapted into a video game.
