Finally, the wait is over! In a recent Instagram post, Battlegrounds Mobile India hinted at the return of BGMI. The post caption says, “It’s time to switch on notifications,” hinting that the announcement related to its return will happen soon. This comes as a sigh of relief for the BGMI community as they were eagerly waiting for the game to return.
Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) was taken down from the Google Play Store and the App Store back on July 28, 2022. The reason for the game’s discontinuation was first kept a secret. Later through an RTI, it was revealed that the Indian government banned BGMI on grounds of privacy and safety. Since then there have been speculations that the popular battle royale game might return, though there were no official statements made.
What was the reveal all about?
In a recent tweet SEAN Hyunil Sohn, CEO of Krafton, expressed his gratitude to Indian Government for permitting BGMI to return. Sohn mentions that Krafton always abides by the law and ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for the players and is committed to the Indian gaming ecosystem. Sohn highlighted their India-first approach and that Krafton will continue investing in the Indian gaming industry and collaborating with local developers. He also sincerely thanked the BGMI community for their love and support and for patiently waiting for the game to return.
An official government statement revealed that BGMI is coming back on a three-month trial. The authorities will monitor and ensure that they abide by the law.
Though there is no official date revealed by Krafton, the posts and tweets indicate the big news is not far away. And as Krafton mentions that the game will be available for download soon, all the fans and players gear up, the battle will begin shortly.
