Krafton thanks the gamers with updates on Battlegrounds Mobile India for surpassing 20M Pre-registrations

Battlegrounds Mobile India has been making headlines since it was announced on May 6th. The game has drawn a lot of attention recently, especially with celebrities in the gaming community fueling the speculations about the release date. While the pre-registration for Battlegrounds Mobile India has begun weeks ago, no official launch date has been revealed by Krafton as of yet.

Although Krafton has been regularly teasing the launch of the game via the official media handles, today, the publisher shared the news of their tremendous success during the pre-registration period. While the results are impressive, it was also quite predictable. After all we are talking about India’s favourite Battle Royale game.

In a press release on the official website they posted, “KRAFTON, the South Korean video game developer, thanked the Indian gaming enthusiasts for a sublime response to the BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA since opening up pre-registrations in India. Developed by KRAFTON, the pre-registration for the game went live on Google Play Store for fans in India on 18^th of May. It received 7.6 million pre-registrations on its opening day, crossing 20 million pre-registrations in two weeks.”

Krafton also shared this news on its official social media handles to thank the fans who made it possible.

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Indian fans for their overwhelming response to the BATTLEGROUNDS IP, first developed by me and my team in 2017. The BATTLEGROUNDS IP received love and acclaim from players worldwide, and KRAFTON will continue to build on the IP. That effort includes bringing amazing content to BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA, and providing an incomparable battle royale experience to our players”.

While fans around the country are already head over heels for the new avatar of the game, they are also crying for an official release date. However, Krafton didn’t reveal much this time either. They again left us hanging by saying that the release date for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA will be announced at a later date.

Fans of the game are quite excited to experience the ‘desi’ reincarnation of their favourite battle royale game.

While the content itself is not yet confirmed, it can be said Krafton will maintain its India Centric approach that will reflect “local needs”, making the game more relatable to Indian players.

Gameplay Changes & New Policies: PUBG Battlegrounds Mobile India Pre Registration

Reportedly, one of the major reasons behind the ban imposed by MEITY is the game being too addictive & violent for young minds. Now, for Battlegrounds Mobile India, PUBG won’t repeat the narrative. There will be significant in-game changes implemented in the game like Green Hit effects instead of the default Blood Red one. Further changes include more clothing on the characters to evade any accusation of mild nudity in-game. Moreover, as termed by the officials, players under 18 years will have to provide guardians phone no. to access the game while their daily gameplay quota will be limited to 3 hours per day. Additionally, their in-game purchases will be limited to Rs 7000 in a day.

Esports: Battlegrounds Mobile India

As the global version of the game is still acquired by the Chinese Gaming giant “Tencent”, players are restricted from playing the game or take part in any Global Esports tournament. As a result, now the Indian version will feature its own Esports Eco System which will be limited to this country only. Similar to the format that Game for Peace, the Chinese version of the game has, Battlegrounds Mobile India will have an entirely separate Esports Section. Following, the game’s release in India, gamers are positive that its Esports Roadmap will be announced soon as well.
