World of Wonder goes fashion

The collab includes an official World of Wonder (WOW) map and nudges players to build their own fashion-inspired creations.

Official Balenciaga WOW map available in-game
Tools remain open for player-made maps themed around fashion
Includes the iconic Balenciaga snowboard item for flair

World of Wonder is PUBG MOBILE’s creation mode, so this is more than a skin drop. It’s a prompt to make new spaces and social hubs with a fashion twist. If you’ve seen community builds in the region, the format will feel familiar to anyone who followed the student-led WOW challenge in KSA and its student-built maps.

Real-world merch in the UAE

Balenciaga and PUBG step outside the game with a capsule collection.

Merch includes T-shirts, caps and keychains
On sale at select Balenciaga flagships and Balenciaga.com
Markets include Australia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, UAE and the US

If you’re in the UAE, you can shop the capsule from today at select Balenciaga locations and online. Stock will vary by store, so plan for limited quantities during the event window.

The fashion collab meets the global stage as two major events unite.
