Krafton has announced an exclusive mobile battle royale title specifically for the Indian market, Battlegrounds Mobile India. The game will provide players a world-class multiplayer experience on mobile.
This came more than eight months after PUBG Mobile was banned by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology due to security reasons. Ever since then, the South Korean company has tried to bring it back to the country.
Initially, they cut ties with Tencent in India and then announced a localized version in November. It has been a while, but Krafton has finally confirmed the game's return.
