When the Indian government banned PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), gamers in the country were quite disappointed. However, in the past months, many reports highlighting PUBG’s possible comeback gave hope to the Indian mobile gamers. And now it seems, it certainly is back, but with a different name, and maybe some twists and a lot of gaming features! After a lot of anticipation, the logo of Battlegrounds Mobile India was announced on May 6, 2021, by Krafton, the South Korean company behind PUBG, as its dedicated game for the Indian market. The new battle royale game is hyped to bring a premium, AAA multiplayer gaming experience along with exclusive in-game events. But there’s still a lot to know about the game. The website for Battlegrounds Mobile India is live, but when and where can you download the game? What is the official launch date? In this article, let us check what is known so far.
In November 2020, PUBG Corporation had announced that it will bring back PUBG Mobile to India. However, at the time, it had not revealed a timeline for the launch of the game in the country. Until last month, when the official YouTube channel for PUBG Mobile India uploaded a video suggesting that the launch of the game is imminent in the Indian market. Some leaked messages and files increased the speculations, but nothing was confirmed. But on May 6, 2021, the official website for Battlegrounds Mobile India has gone live.
