First, the ‘Together Strong’ slogan that you see in the teaser above is anot-so-subtle reference to the unforgettable ‘Apes, together strong’ dialoguefrom the films. And if that reference wasn’t enough, we also see an ape’s silhouette with the PUBG Mobile logo at the center.

PUBG Mobile would likely be celebrating the franchise with limited-edition themes, movie-themed gear, and other new things. The popular mobile game is no stranger to associating with movie franchises, something we’ve already seen in the past with Mission Impossible: Fallout.
