PUBG Mobile has never been shy about reinventing itself. First, it shook up the gaming world with battle royale chaos, and now it’s diving headfirst into horror. At Gamescom 2025, the devs unveiled a brand-new mode called “UNFAIL”, and let me tell you—it looks like the game’s scariest update yet. Think Dead by Daylight vibes but with PUBG Mobile’s own spin.
Here’s the gist: four survivors are tossed into a deadly match against one predator. And no, this isn’t a gunfight. The predator comes loaded with eerie superpowers instead of weapons, making him more of a hunter than a soldier. Survivors have to team up, sneak around, and activate terminals to open the way out. Meanwhile, the predator’s job is simple—stop at least three out of five players from escaping. Creepy, right?
The real kicker is the Rage mechanic. Every time the predator knocks someone down, his rage bar fills, unlocking even scarier abilities. Survivors can’t just run and hide forever—they’ll need teamwork and quick thinking if they want to live. Honestly, it sounds like the kind of mode where you’ll either be screaming with laughter or just plain screaming.
And here’s a little bonus: alongside the new mode, the devs are rolling out PUBG Mobile codes you can redeem for in-game rewards. So not only do you get a fresh way to play, but you can also grab some freebies while you’re at it.
If all goes according to plan, “UNFAIL” will make its official debut with the PUBG Mobile 4.0 update at the end of 2025. Until then, fans can test it out at Gamescom—and maybe get a sneak peek at what’s to come.
Personally, I love when familiar games throw in something completely unexpected. It keeps things fresh and forces you to play in new ways. What about you—does a horror twist in PUBG Mobile sound like fun, or do you prefer sticking with classic battle royale firefights? Let’s hash it out in the comments.
