A new Holi Dhamaka mode celebrating the festival of colors, Holi, has been introduced in Battlegrounds Mobile India.

However, on closer scrutiny, it can be observed that the same mode is celebrated as the Fourth Anniversary mode in PUBG Mobile. The new mode is only available on Erangel and Livik.


2) Sky Islands

The themed maps will witness the introduction of the Sky Islands. The two floating islands have been modeled on the Rising Temple and Winter Castle, both of which were immensely popular when they appeared in the game previously. Players can drop into these islands to gather loot and kill enemies.

However, it is the colored balls that will attract the most players. Collecting these balls will enable players to summon supplies later in the matches.


3) Playground Changes
