PUBG: Battlegrounds just dropped the most absurd April Fools surprise of 2025 – a full-blown dating simulator inside its battle royale chaos. Teaming up with AI studio ReLU Games, Krafton unleashed "Winner Winner Romantic Dinner," letting players romance humanized versions of iconic weapons like Molotov Cocktail and AKM. Running from April 1-29, this bizarre crossover turns PUBG's lethal arsenal into dateable characters with branching storylines.

Players navigate high school festival prep while pursuing gun-waifus, with microphone-enabled mini-games and platform restrictions adding quirky layers to the madness.

🤔 Why Dating Sims for April Fools?

Krafton joins a growing trend of games using parody dating sims for April Fools:

• Valorant (2021): "Love Event" with agent romances

• Palworld (2025): Alleged dating sim collab

• Indie Parallels: Similar to Boyfriend Dungeon's weapon-dating premise

This trend thrives because:

• 🤣 Absurd humor contrasts with serious gameplay

• 🎁 Reward incentives boost player engagement

• 💞 Parody format allows creative world-building

Developers treat these events like hidden Easter eggs – players must dig through familiar mechanics to uncover surreal narratives!

❓ People Also Ask

Surprisingly no. Your shotgun wedding fantasies stay quarantined from battle royale matches.

Mini-games involve voice interactions, turning flirtation into a verbal battlefield.
