aespa’s PUBG Dark Arts Collaboration Wows Fans with Epic K-pop x Gaming Crossover
aespa is once again reminding everyone why they’re at the forefront of K-pop’s digital age — this time with the thrilling aespa PUBG Dark Arts collaboration that’s got both MYs and gamers buzzing.
In this special crossover, Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning dive straight into PUBG’s battle royale world, transforming into fierce, otherworldly characters who look like they stepped right out of a sci-fi movie. The Dark Arts Collaboration Film feels more like a blockbuster trailer than a typical promo — dark, cinematic, and packed with intense action that fits aespa’s signature cyberpunk vibe perfectly.
The collaboration isn’t just about jaw-dropping visuals either. Fans who play PUBG can unlock exclusive aespa-themed skins, emotes, and secret in-game spots inspired by the group’s concerts. Picture this: you’re in the middle of a match on Miramar, and suddenly you stumble across a massive Desert Dome blasting aespa’s new track “Dark Arts.” It’s the perfect mix of gaming and K-pop.

And speaking of the song, “Dark Arts” is a powerful new anthem from aespa that fans are calling an instant playlist staple. It’s also the official theme for the PUBG Nations Cup 2025 — meaning you’ll be hearing it everywhere from your game lobby to the esports stage when aespa performs it live for the first time.
What makes the aespa PUBG Dark Arts collaboration stand out is how naturally it brings aespa’s futuristic universe into a real gaming experience. From dramatic fight scenes to the in-game items and locations, it’s clear aespa and PUBG didn’t hold back — and fans love it.
As clips from the collaboration keep going viral, both MYs and gamers are already asking for more crossovers like this. With aespa, you never really know what’s coming next — but you can bet it’ll be bold, fresh, and always a step ahead. Here are what fans have to say:
- I’m obsessed with Karina’s vocals. SHE IS INSANE.
- It really gives vibe of early aespa discography as savage and girls. Strong instrumentals and beats, melodic bridge, pre-chorus, change of melody and extended verse after bridge, high note as a song climax. Cool and bold vibe and theme about fighting
- Winter’s pre-chorus is very healing, especially the bridge
- I see why SM wanted this for the last comeback. That second verse is epic.
- I can’t emphasize enough how PERFECT this collab is with aespa!
