PUBG Mobile was pulled out of India after it was banned by the Ministry of Electronics and IT and now there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. PUBG Corporation had now confirmed its return to India with a new name – PUBG Mobile India. The app would feature altered game-in content and customizations for reflecting local user preferences. The game will also focus on handling user data in a more transparent way in accordance with local regulations.
PUBG’s parent company Krafton Inc. is planning to invest $100 million in the PUBG Mobile India project. There will be modifications in gameplay which includes green hit effects in place of red and fully clothed characters from the start. The company has also planned a feature for controlling playtime for younger players to promote healthier gaming habits.
The company has also made plans to establish a local office in India and around 100 employees will handle communications and user services. These are plans for specific events, entertainment projects and tournaments in India. A specific date has not been mentioned regarding the launch of PUBG Mobile India.
