Good news for gamers, BGMI is back
Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), a modified version of PUBG Mobile designed particularly for the Indian market, will return shortly.
Krafton, its developer based in South Korea, said the firm is “extremely grateful to the Indian authorities for allowing us to resume operations.”
Due to security concerns, BGMI was deleted from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store last year.
Its predecessor, PUBG Mobile, is still banned in India because of the same security concerns and ties to China.
BGMI return confirmed by Krafton:
Krafton confirmed BGMI’s return just days after a report revealed the company’s ongoing talks with Indian authorities.
According to our sources, the corporation also works with authorities to regain the game.
The game should match the Govt conditions:
According to the new study, Krafton must meet specific conditions imposed by the government for BGMI to return to full-time operations.
The corporation has been requested to launch the game with a time limit of each day for 90 days (three months).
This is likely to keep children from becoming addicted to the game.
Authorities were concerned about children’s mental health last year when a youngster killed his mother after she prevented him from playing BGMI.
Authorities are also said to have urged Krafton to change the animations so there is no blood.
Krafton modified the blood hue in the previous generation of BGMI to green to make it appear less violent.
Krafton has not stated whether BGMI would be available to users for a set period each day.
According to the press release, the battle royale-style game will be available for download soon.
The craze of the game:
BGMI, like PUBG, garnered huge popularity in India despite its limited availability. The game had 100 million users in just one year of its launch.
According to Krafton, “BGMI made history by becoming the initial Esports event to be broadcasted on mainstream television. The game has reached at 24 million concurrent viewers as well as 200 million viewers.”
Despite the earlier prohibition imposed by BGMI, Krafton continued its efforts to increase its presence in India.
Defence Derby, a game distinct from the battle royale-style BGMI, was released in India in April by the independent firm RisingWings under Krafton.
Previously, the firm released Road to Valour Empires, a PC game created by Dreamotion and Callisto Protocol.
