If you haven't heard that the PUBG Mobile Global Championships are happening this weekend in London, then we haven't been doing our job well enough in keeping you updated. But for those of you who are in the know and thought Krafton had no more surprises left, think again. PUBG Mobile is set to partner with Qiddiya Gaming, and this news is bound to shake things up!
You might be wondering, what is Qiddiya Gaming? It's part of Saudi Arabia's ambitious push into the gaming world, where they're planning to build the world's first "IRL Gaming & Esports District" within Qiddiya—a massive entertainment project currently under construction.
As for what you can expect in-game from this collaboration, details are still under wraps. However, we do know that the partnership will primarily feature in PUBG Mobile's World of Wonder mode. My guess is that it might include elements inspired by the planned, yet unfinished, buildings and layout of Qiddiya itself.
The concept of Qiddiya might not resonate with every player. Not everyone plans vacations centered around gaming, and one of the strengths of esports is its ability to connect people globally, regardless of physical distance.
Yet, this partnership underscores the immense value that PUBG Mobile and its esports scene hold for those looking to tap into the gaming industry as a business. With more news on the horizon, it's exciting to speculate on how this collaboration, and Qiddiya's involvement in the PUBG Mobile Global Championships, will unfold.
