The crossover includes skins of three of Peaky Blinders’ most iconic characters – Thomas, Arthur and John Shelby – as well as familiar weapons such as the Thompson SMG and the razor newsboy hat. Peaky Blinders-inspired emotes Thumbs Up Approval and Menacing Stride will also be available while the Thomas Shelby voice pack will “let players command the battlegrounds with the authority of the Peaky Blinders’ leader himself.”
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds’ classic theme ‘Red Hand Right’ has also been added to the game as part of the collab.
“This collaboration brings the world of Peaky Blinders to PUBG Mobile in a truly immersive and authentic way, allowing fans to step directly into its iconic universe,” said Mark Woollard from organisers Banijay Rights. “The level of detail in recreating the Shelby family’s look, style and attitude is exceptional, capturing the tone, intensity and atmosphere that makes [that world] so distinctive and beloved. We can’t wait for PUBG Mobile players to experience the drama and ambition firsthand.”
It’s set to be a big year for Peaky Blinders fans. After six seasons, feature film The Immortal Man is set to hit cinemas in March and bring Tommy Shelby’s story to an “explosive” conclusion. Creator Steven Knight has confirmed two more seasons will follow, focusing on a new generation.
