KRAFTON JAPAN is running a PUBG MOBILE collaboration with three Nijisanji VTubers through September 11, 2026, and recently overhauled its co-op horror game Mimesis with adaptive AI and a flexible progression structure.
KRAFTON JAPAN has been active on two fronts in mid-2026. On June 16, it released a major update for Mimesis, its co-op horror game. The update reworks the AI-driven monster's decision-making, adds individual monster personalities, and replaces the fixed 3-day cycle with a flexible progression structure. It also expands dungeon interiors and revamps the spectator system so eliminated players can possess monsters.
On August 12, KRAFTON JAPAN announced a PUBG MOBILE collaboration with three Nijisanji VTubers: Fuwa Minato, Ibrahim, and Lauren Iroas. The collaboration runs from August 12 to September 11, 2026, at 08:59. Players can obtain costume skins, voice cards, and other collaboration-exclusive items through in-game crates or by exchanging coins earned from those crates. A login event gives away Pubu Niku voice cards and gacha items for free.
The two stories show KRAFTON JAPAN balancing live-service updates for an existing title with a high-profile crossover aimed at the VTuber fanbase. The Mimesis update signals a deliberate shift away from memorization-based play toward adaptive strategy, while the PUBG MOBILE collaboration expands the game's reach through character-driven content.
