EVERYTHING YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT PUBG MOBLE INDIA (NEW LAUNCH ) . IS PUBG MOBILE WILL BE GREAT AGAIN ?
- PUBG developer Krafton has not set a timeline for the launch of the mobile multiplayer game in the country.
- In September last year, PUBG Mobile was banned along with other Chinese apps after a prolonged border standoff between the neighbours.
- PUBG's Battleground Mobile India faces competition in esports segment from gaming titles like Sea’s Garena Free Fire, Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty: Mobile, and SuperCell’s Clash of Clans.
- South korean gaming company Krafton will relaunch the India version of its popular game - PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), for mobile users.
This will come in a new avatar called Battlegrounds Mobile India. - Following the ban, PUBG Corp, the subsidiary of Krafton, severed ties with Tencent for India.
“Battlegrounds Mobile India will release with exclusive in-game events like outfits and features and will have its own esports ecosystem with tournaments and leagues. The game will launch as a free-to-play experience on mobile devices,” Krafton said in a statement. - “The announcement of Battlegrounds Mobile India boosts India’s growing mobile gaming market,” said Rupantar Guha, associate project manager, thematic research, Global Data, which estimates the mobile gaming market in the country to be worth over $1 billion in 2021.
“Battle royale games are increasingly popular in India and considering the demand for PUBG Mobile before the ban, Krafton’s adoption of an Indianized content strategy should ensure the new game’s success,” Guha added.
Krafton will have to push hard to make up lost ground in the esports segment that PUBG pioneered in India, he said, as several gamers and esports organisations have transitioned to alternative titles like Sea’s Garena Free Fire, Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty: Mobile, and SuperCell’s Clash of Clans, following the ban.
Krafton’s investment will be the largest by a South Korean firm in India, outside of the manufacturing sector.
“It's good to see that Krafton has considered the Indian requirements and has modified the game and this will surely fuel the Indian esports ecosystem,” said Lokesh Suji, director, Esports Federation of India and vice president, Asian Esports Federation
Battlegrounds Mobile India, the PUBG Mobile replacement was officially revealed last week. The developer has slowly begun dropping hints of what the new game will bag in.
