Love is in the air — and dropping from the sky. KRAFTON has officially pulled back the curtain on one of the most star-studded crossovers in battle royale history: PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS × IVE, a LOVE DIVE-themed collaboration bringing the chart-topping K?pop sensation straight to your drop zone this November.
This isn’t just a few skins — it’s a full?scale musical takeover. Here’s everything you need to know before you land.
When It Lands
The collaboration rolls out across platforms on a staggered schedule:
| Platform | Launch Date |
|---|---|
| PC | Wednesday 4?November?2026 |
| Console | Thursday 12?November?2026 |
Mark your calendars — this limited?time event won’t stick around forever.
LOVE DIVE Comes to Rondo — A Map Like Never Before
The heart of the update is a brand?new themed zone built directly into the Rondo map, fully recreating the dreamlike, romantic aesthetic of IVE’s iconic LOVE DIVE music video. Step inside and you’ll find:
- Pink?tinged ruins bathed in soft, glowing light
- Decor and architecture mirroring the video’s celestial, otherworldly atmosphere
- Custom audio cues and soundtrack elements that shift as you explore the area
- A spot perfect for both intense firefights and memorable squad screenshots
It’s a stunning reimagining of one of PUBG’s most dynamic maps — where beauty meets bullets.
Six Stars, Six Unique Looks
All six IVE members — Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo — are joining the fight with faithfully recreated character appearances. Each member gets:
- A signature outfit inspired by their LOVE DIVE era styling
- Matching accessories and hair designs
- Exclusive emotes choreographed to the group’s hit tracks — including LOVE DIVE itself and brand?new music from their October 2026 releases
Whether you want to channel Wonyoung’s iconic elegance or match Leeseo’s fresh energy, there’s a look for every fan — and every playstyle.
More Than Skins — Music, Moments & Magic
The collaboration goes far beyond cosmetics:
- Main trailer premiere: 1?November?2026 — IVE themselves appear in?character, recreating the LOVE DIVE concept alongside a special PUBG remix of the track

Why This Crossover Hits Different
PUBG has hosted major collabs before, but few blend identity and atmosphere as seamlessly as LOVE DIVE. IVE isn’t just pasted onto the game — their sound, style, and spirit reshape how you experience it.
