And scoring a chicken dinner as a tired-looking cartoon kart racer isn’t exactly hard to imagine.

If PUBG Mobile goes the same way with the KartRider Rush collaboration, it would risk missing its chance to promote the series in time for its console debut. The Metro 2033 collaboration - which brought the lovable Metro Royale game mode with it - took months to arrive after it was initially teased. After several beta tests through the years, it’s currently scheduled for a 2021 release.
In 2019, KartRider Drift was announced for both PC and Xbox. It’s that version that PUBG Mobile is collaborating with, but the reason why could be for more reasons than simply promoting the mobile game. Though both have now shut down, KartRider Rush+, an enhanced version of the first mobile release, launched to great success in 2020, amassing over 400,000 reviews on the Google Play Store alone. With the advent of mobile and social gaming, the series broke out on its own, launching KartRider Rush on mobile platforms and Kartrider Dash on Facebook in the 2010s. In 2007, it was said that around a quarter of the Korean population had played the game at least once.

Surrounded by sculpted clouds, we can see a bunch of backpack skins as well. We presume this to be either the Golden Mirado or the more common Dacia 1300.

Teasing “awesome collab outfits, items, and car skins,” the banner art shows us much of what we can expect to fight for when the event arrives. Just know the style of the game its promoting before you go imagining some beefy muscle car with the nitro jets and blue fire blurting out of the back. Despite that, we have a pretty decent idea of what it will offer whenever it does show up. Announced on October 4 across the game’s social accounts, you won’t see mention of it in-game just yet, but it’s presumably right around the corner.
