PUBG Mobile 4.0 Update Changelog
The big PUBG Mobile 4.0 update is set to hit worldwide on September 4, 2025, with a huge Halloween twist called “Spooky Soiree.”
Android folks should see it early in the morning, and iOS users probably around 9:00 AM in their time zone.
This isn't your usual seasonal change—it's blending fantasy, scary stuff, and the core battle royale in fresh ways. With new fights against AI, ghost helpers, magic gear, and an updated Erangel, it's one of the bolder tries from PUBG Mobile.
Spooky Soiree: The New Themed Mode
This mode stands out, set in a haunted magical spot with ghosts, spells, and weird places. It's on Erangel and centers on supernatural battles, grabbing loot, and team powers.
Magic Mirror Castle (Wraithmoor Mansion): A fresh hot spot in Erangel, drawing from fantasy castles. It's a big building with gardens, mazes, traps, and secret rooms. Inside, there's:
- King's Crates for top loot and special powers.
- Magic Mirrors that show treasures, let out ghosts, and switch the weather, like to a green spooky sky.
- Shy ghosts hiding as objects—talk to them for rewards or to start fights.
Ghosty Companion: A spirit you can call up for help. Add skills from backpack items:
- Auto-revive team in battles.
- Heal on the move or while firing.
- Shields, faster speed, spot enemies, and fly with Ghost Balloon.
Magic Broom Vehicle: A broom for flying that lets your squad move fast over the map. You can attack from up there and get away quick.
Rock Revue Graveyard (Performing Dead Concert): An event mid-game where ghost bands play. Go in for the performance, and stick around for loot after. Fix their wrong notes for extra rewards or to ping enemies.
PvE Elements: Take on ghost enemies or turn into spirits. Includes hunting monsters and dueling with spells for an RPG touch.
Map Enhancements and Classic Mode Updates
Erangel gets a big refresh for smarter plays and better looks, while other modes pick up handy fixes.
Erangel 4.0 Revamp:
- Clearer textures, better lights, raised ground, and new spots like the castle and graveyard.
- Beach Carnival in Lipovka: A beach zone with rides, a big Ferris wheel you can climb for views, and lots of loot—great for jumping right in.
- Better loot areas and high spots for tactical edges.
- Realistic Reloading: New animations that feel like real reloads, making shooting more real.
- Dusk Weather Effect: Builds tension with low light and shadows.
New Weapons and Cosmetics
Mortar: A carry-around launcher for one player with about 200m reach. Place it down, then shoot straight at seen targets or use the map for curved shots. Special ammo to push enemies out—good for far-off attacks.
Halloween Revival Skins and Cosmetics: Back with themes like Day of the Dead clothes, zombie looks, wizard outfits, MP7 skins with magic effects, emotes, and lobby stuff. Dark and fiery styles to match the theme.
Themed Loot: Ghost Cakes for short boosts, broomsticks, spell gear, and more.
Arcade Modes and Creative Expansion
New Arcade Modes: Just shotguns, just close fights, and quick versions for fast games.
WOW (World of Wonder) 1.0 Full Release: Better creative tools, new setups, and small games. Includes:
- Train Escort: Guard a train from foes through levels, get tokens for better weapons. Ends with a frost dragon boss.
- PvE Enemy Blocks: Set up AI enemies for attacks, defenses, and rewards. Watch health and events.
- Skill Editor: Check effects ahead, group skills to switch automatically.
Seasonal Events and Collaborations
Like usual, PUBG Mobile links the update to a bunch of timed events. From official word, the schedule is:
- September 1 – WOW 1.0 release with Train Escort mode
- September 4 – Spooky Soiree mode goes live
- September 11 – Royale Pass A15 with mythic Halloween outfits
- September 12 – Luxury vehicle collab featuring Porsche models
- Mid-September – High-speed IP crossover (details under wraps)
- October 16 – New collaboration gameplay, possibly a cross-IP event
- October 20 – Holiday Event as the Halloween finale
Leaks point to anime links and maybe Harry Potter stuff, but nothing confirmed yet.
Unfail Mode: A Survival Horror Twist
Shown at Gamescom 2025, PUBG Mobile adds Unfail Mode, a horror take where four players escape a monster hunter. On a changed Mylta Power map, turn on terminals for a portal, while the predator tracks you. Survivors have little ammo and move slower for more stress, and the predator sees terminal starts right away.
This mode pushes into horror with bloody ends and team survival that feels more like Dead by Daylight than regular PUBG.
