PUBG Mobile New Ultimate Set: Umbral Scorpius Release Date and Details
Umbral Scorpius, PUBG Mobile’s new Honor Series Ultimate Set, went live on Friday, October 9, 2026, and its event period runs until February 28, 2027. It is the first Honor Series Ultimate Set with a two-form transformation called Battle Soul. It comes with an advanced upgradable UZI that also has two forms, plus a new “Fashion Show” elimination effect that plays in the lobby and in matches. Everything below comes from three official videos on the PUBG MOBILE YouTube channel and its official X account. What is still missing: the UC price and how to obtain the set had not been posted on those official channels as of Friday, October 9, 2026, 12:30 WIB (13:30 Malaysia/Singapore time).

About the name: the on-screen text in all three videos reads Umbral Scorpius Set, and the end card of the October 9 Short says “Umbral Scorpius Ultimate Set Available Today”. The Short’s title and the official X post from October 9 say “Umbral Scorpio”. Both refer to the same set, which carries the Scorpio zodiac symbol in its description.
What Umbral Scorpius Includes: Base Form and Battle Soul Awakening
The dual-form video from October 8 shows in-game footage with feature labels on screen. The base form is a green-haired character in glasses, a white blouse, and a cape with a gold wire pattern. After Battle Soul Awakening, the character switches to a second form: a gold mask and armor, plus a scorpion tail set with green gems.
| Label in the video | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Umbral Scorpius Set | The set’s base form |
| Battle Soul Awakening | The transformation into the second form |
| Exclusive Standing Pose and Standby Action | Lobby pose and idle movement for both forms |
| Starwoven Scorpion Blade - UZI (MAX) | The UZI’s first form, with an Inspect Emote |
| Nebula Sting - UZI (MAX) | The UZI’s second form, with an Inspect Emote |
| Switch Firearm Animation | The animation when the UZI changes form |
| Elimination Performance and Elimination Broadcast | The elimination effect and the elimination notice |
| Victory Moment and Loot Crate | A victory effect and a custom loot crate |
| Stargate Traversal Glider | A trail effect while gliding down from the plane |
The October 9 Short shows Umbral Scorpius walking a runway with other Honor Series sets and X-Suits, which is where the “Fashion Show” elimination effect gets its name.
Dual-Form Upgradable UZI: Starwoven Scorpion Blade and Nebula Sting
The matching weapon is an “advanced upgradable” UZI. The Battle Soul trailer from October 4 says the UZI has two forms and a form-switching animation. The October 8 video names both forms:
- Starwoven Scorpion Blade: a silver body with teal accents and scorpion details.
- Nebula Sting: purple, with a swirling nebula effect during the Inspect Emote.
Both carry a “(MAX)” label, so the footage shows the max-level look. The number of upgrade levels, the materials needed, and whether the UZI is sold separately from the set have not been explained in the videos or official posts.
How It Differs From the June 2026 Honor Series
Umbral Scorpius is not the first Honor Series Ultimate Set. From June 5 to September 1, 2026, PUBG Mobile ran Honor Series Ultimate Sets built around a combined form: after collecting specified items, players could unlock a combined-form Ultimate Set. The matching weapon then was a dual-form upgradable UMP45.
| Difference | June 2026 Honor Series | Umbral Scorpius |
|---|---|---|
| Event period | June 5 to September 1, 2026 | October 9, 2026 to February 28, 2027 |
| Concept | Combined form, unlocked after collecting specified items | Two-form Battle Soul transformation |
| Matching weapon | Dual-form upgradable UMP45 | Dual-form upgradable UZI |
At almost five months, the Umbral Scorpius window is longer than the roughly three-month June run, so you have time to read the event rules and drop rates before spending UC.
Umbral Scorpius UC Price and How to Get It
As of October 9, 2026, 12:30 WIB, the official videos, the @PUBGMOBILE posts on X, and the news page on pubgmobile.com did not list a UC price, the event type (crate, spin, or something else), or the drop rates. The latest news post on the official site was still the Ocean Odyssey announcement dated September 29. Treat any “how much UC” figure that circulates before an official notice with caution, and open the event menu in the lobby to see the rules and probabilities that apply to your account.
If you plan to go for the set, you can top up PUBG Mobile UC on ItemGame for Indonesian accounts, or use the Malaysia page. Packages range from 60 UC to 48000 + 16800 Bonus UC for the Global version of PUBG Mobile, not PUBG Mobile Lite or the VNG version. You only need the Character ID shown under your character name on the profile page. The full steps are in our guide on how to top up PUBG Mobile UC with your Character ID.
