While Krafton has decided to discontinue various in-game events and promotions, they haven't disclosed any particular reason for the same. This happens to be the first time that any such notice has arrived from the developer before the removal of any event or promotion.

Addressed to BGMI fans, the notice began:

"Due to an unforeseen circumstance, a list of promotions and events will be discontinued on Oct 8 at 23:59 (UTC), more details on this posted below."

Here's a look at the list of events and promotions that will be removed from BGMI (timings in UTC):

1. Aston Martin Speed Drift (event) - 2023/9/1 00:00:00 to 2023/10/08 23:59:59 instead of 2023/10/9 23:59:59

2. Marmoris X-Suit (promotion) - 2023/8/23 00:00:00 to 2023/10/8 23:59:59 instead of 2023/10/9 23:59:59

Players must remember that since all the aforementioned timings are in UTC, the events and promotions will be discontinued at 5:30 a.m. IST on September 9. Krafton has urged players to take advantage of the remaining opportunities to grab rewards from these events before they expire. They have also thanked players for their unwavering support since the title's return to the Indian gaming market.

Quite interestingly, the announcement arrives days before the expected release of the upcoming 2.8 update in Battlegrounds Mobile India. This can be an indication that the developer is tirelessly working to roll out the update in the forthcoming days.

However, it has to be noted that no official announcement regarding the release of the BGMI 2.8 update has come from Krafton India to date.
