Krafton Limited, the South Korean video game developer of PUBG Mobile, announced on Thursday that it will bring back the popular gaming title to India under the brand name Battlegrounds Mobile India, the company said in its press release. One of the most popular publishers of free-to-play games for mobile devices, Glu Mobile will launch its newest game, a “AAA multiplayer” title called Blitz Brigade. It is expected to be the most inclusive mobile game ever, with over 1000 hours of gameplay in the first year alone.
PUBG Mobile India pre-registration begins before the game is launched in the country, according to a developer. The game has been customized for India and not PUBG as it is tailored for the second largest internet market in the world.’Battlegrounds Mobile’ will follow a staggered launch this year, with the game set to hit global markets ahead of its India debut, Krafton said. Krafton is committed to collaborating with partners who want to tap into the growing esports market in India with Krafton’s own commitment that will see it keep its users entertained in-game. At launch, Krafton will bring India-focused in-game events and content to its users. Further details will be announced at a later date.
A popular mobile game that can be played on your phone is PUBG Mobile. It’s a battle royale-style game where 100 players jump out of a plane and land on a colossal map with just one objective – to kill everyone else. PUBG Mobile was the game that’s taken India by storm. With over 50 million monthly active players in the country, it’s easy to see why they call it India’s Game.
The government of India announced Tuesday that it has banned PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds alongside 200 other apps with links to China, citing national security concerns. The announcement comes months after India banned PUBG Mobile alongside 200 other apps with links to China citing national security concerns. Krafton Technologies may have made mistakes in the past, but that’s all about to change. In recent months, Krafton has taken several steps — including cutting ties with its publishing partner Tencent, inking a global cloud deal with Microsoft (and a mobile gaming deal with Nodwin), all the while.
Krafton will be working with the top legal and technological experts to ensure that your data is safe. To start, we’re implementing biometric authentication (like face and fingerprint recognition) and two-factor authentication to make sure no one but you can access your data. We’ll also be conducting extensive background checks on our employees, partners, and independent contractors.”We take privacy extremely seriously. We will ensure that all data collected is stored securely and we are compliant with applicable laws and regulations.” Said the company’s CEO after questions were asked regarding the security and privacy of the people who will be playing the game.
The firm said it has not received final approval to launch the new title. It also said it has not held any talks with officials in the Indian capital about launching the title. Let’s see when the official game gets launched.
