FULL STORY ======================================================================

Unexpected pop culture collaborations are nothing new in the gaming world. Travis Scott hosted a virtual concert in Fortnite , Fall Guys jellybean creatures got a wearable Godzilla skin and Jango Fett, for some reason,
popped up in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 .

But its footballers who continue to establish themselves as gamings weirdest commercial partners in 2021, and PUBG s latest off-the-pitch alliance is no different. Yes, Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-Min is coming to the popular battle royale game.

PUBG first teased the collaboration via Twitter back in June, and did so
again more recently, but eagle-eyed data miners have uncovered what to expect from the partnership when the games 12.2 update arrives on July 7. Everything we know about PUBG: New State All the details for Call of Duty: Mobile Season 5 New Call of Duty 2021 release date, news and rumors

Images shared by PlayerIGN reveal an eight-piece cosmetic bundle as part of the collaboration with the South Korean winger, which is set to include two sportswear outfits, a signed helmet, the players game face, two new weapon skins and two of the players iconic celebrations as emotes.

The bundle will likely be available to purchase via PUBGs in-game store, though theres no word on how much it will set you back. Were guessing around 1000 G-Coin approximately $10 / 10 / AU$13 if recent cosmetic bundles are anything to go by, though previous items have exceeded that amount.

Its also still unclear whether Son will continue to work with Krafton, the games developer, as a brand ambassador for PUBG, or whether this cosmetic set represents the extent of their partnership. Were assuming the latter, similar to Neymar Jrs one-time collaboration with Fortnite .

For a better look at Son in PUBG, PlayerIGN also shared some promo shots of the player modelling (virtually, of course) the new skins in the game world, which were officially posted to the PUBG Weibo account.

What is clear, at least, is that we can expect countless Son-related memes to emerge when the games update drops on July 7.
