BGMI 2.4 release dates on the internet are fake

Krafton has not officially released any news related to the release date of Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.4. Hence, any website or YouTube channel claiming to know the exact launch date for this game version is misleading and fake.

Fans are advised to only trust the official Krafton/BGMI website and social media handles when it comes to any news about a release date. They should not trust any leaks or rumors that don't come from a credible source.

Krafton's latest statement regarding BGMI's return came recently when the company announced that its officials are in talks with government authorities to lift the ban. It read:

"KRAFTON is continuing its efforts to resume services for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) and will continue investing in the Indian games market."

However, various popular content creators have promised BGMI fans that the game will surely make a comeback in the country. Based on their assurances, players can keep their hopes high and wait for officials to release the game as soon as possible.
