BGMI comeback India

Krafton has been busy pushing BGMI in India after its comeback in India this May. The mobile game was banned in India last year by the government due to security reasons. BGMI was also linked with several incidents involving young boys who were reportedly acting out due to the influence of violence in BGMI.

Krafton relaunched BGMI with new features so as to curb mobile gaming addiction in India. It restricted playtime for users under 18 to three hours daily, and six hours for everyone else. BGMI also comes with parental controls and spending limits for minors. The company also had some freebies for BGMI fans which included four free and permanent reward outfits. 

It also added a new tropical map called “Nusa” with overflowing supplies, elevators, huts on fire, tactical crossbows and ziplines. A new feature called “Super Recall” was added, and this helps players who die quickly, recall to the battlefield in single and duo mode.
