PUBG Mobile 4.7 Update: Arctic Chronicles, Ancient Beast, and Free Rewards

PUBG Mobile Version 4.7 is live now. The update launched globally on November 12, 2026, and runs until January 12, 2027. Its headline feature is Arctic Chronicles, a new themed mode built around a colossal Ancient Beast on Erangel, plus a new PvE extraction map, a lighter-weight companion app, and free rewards just for updating.

What Is New in PUBG Mobile 4.7

Arctic Chronicles: The Ancient Beast

Arctic Chronicles runs on Erangel, Livik, and Vikendi. Parts of Pochinki, Rozhok, and Mansion get Norse-inspired architecture, and the colossal Ancient Beast dominates Erangel.

To get inside the beast, shoot down the two Sealing Towers ensnaring it and activate the pedestals within to restore the seals. You can then enter through its open mouth. The interior is a shared space where combat is disabled, and players holding a Hero's Medal can claim the themed Pegasus mount there. Parts of the Ancient Beast can also be found across Erangel, hiding supplies and caves to explore, and sections of its body can be used to travel quickly across the map.

Glyph Abilities, Aurora Pegasus, and the Vargr Companion

Each player receives a random Glyph ability at the start of a match. These passive skills cover faster healing and reloading, improved supply detection, and more. Power Feathers raise the odds of drawing a higher-level skill.

Near the Ancient Beast, the Aurora Blink skill lets you double jump, dash a short distance, and ride an aurora rail at high speed along the beast's body. The Aurora Pegasus is a vehicle you can summon at any time: it travels on land and water, and a double jump sends it into the air. Activating an Oath Seal summons Vargr, a wolf companion you can direct with voice commands or preset radial prompts.

A new fishing feature also arrives in the themed mode and Classic Erangel, letting you catch different species of fish across bodies of water.

Erangel Subzero Arrives December 3

From December 3, Erangel Subzero brings a deep freeze to the island. It features four-stage dynamic weather, blizzards that freeze building doors and windows shut, crashed supply satellites, Thermal Protection Suits, and Liquid Nitrogen Tanks.

Seal City: A New PvE Extraction Map

Version 4.7 adds Seal City, a dedicated PvE extraction map in Metro Royale. It features a day-night cycle, High-Threat zones, Stealth Syringes, Scream Grenades, and a three-path Talent Tree.

Free Rewards for Updating

Players who update to the latest client receive two cosmetic items delivered directly to their in-game accounts: the Arctic Chronicles theme song and the Rosy Frostfield theme lobby background.

Classic Mode Balance Changes

Classic Mode gets a round of combat and quality-of-life tuning in Version 4.7. Reload times are reduced on the ACE32 and JS9, ASM Abakan burst accuracy is tightened, medical supplies weigh less in your inventory, and Portable Med Packs are replaced by the Battle Ready Kit.
