Shinobi, assemble. Naruto, one of the most beloved anime franchises in the world, is making its full debut in BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA — and KRAFTON India is calling it the game’s biggest anime collaboration yet.

When Does It Arrive?
The Naruto collaboration goes live as part of BGMI’s Version 4.5 Update, running from July 16 to September 14, 2026. For BGMI’s 260 million Indian players, it’s not just a themed skin drop — it’s a full reimagining of Erangel and Livik into an immersive world inspired by Konohagakure.
A Living Hidden Leaf Village
Players will explore recreated landmarks straight out of the anime: Hokage Rock, the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, Naruto’s Apartment, the Ninja Academy, the Great Naruto Bridge, the Chunin Exam Arena, and the Valley of the End. Cinematic touches — like a recreation of Naruto and Sasuke’s climactic battle, a Kurama Memory Space, and a Naruto-themed in-flight sequence before every match — aim to make players feel like they’re living inside the anime rather than just playing a themed mode.
