BattleGrounds Mobile India announced, is the replacement for PUBG Mobile in India

Krafton Inc, the developers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, aka PUBG has announced that PUBG Mobile India is no more. The game will now launch in the country as Battlegrounds Mobile India. The developers have already rebranded their official YouTube and Facebook pages and should update the official Twitter Page soon. The previous website of pubgmobile.in seems to have been taken offline as well, while battlegroundsmobileindia.com is now live.

Interestingly, the developers seem to have purged all previous content from YouTube and Facebook, suggesting that this will be a completely fresh start from the game in India. The page only features one video right now, which shows the new logo.

Battlegrounds Mobile India: What to expect

The press release shared by Krafton Inc gives some insight into what players can expect but doesn’t delve into too much detail. The company notes that 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.” This seems to suggest that the game will be its own entity that will be separate from the global version of PUBG Mobile. The company does mention that the game will be exclusive to the Indian market.

Battlegrounds Mobile India: Launch date

Krafton hasn’t yet unveiled the launch date for the game. However, the company notes that the game will have a period of pre-registration before launch. The developers note that they will collaborate with partners to “build an esports ecosystem while bringing in-game content regularly, starting with a series of India specific in-game events at launch, to be announced later”

Battlegrounds Mobile India: Privacy and security

Krafton Inc notes that privacy and security will be a top priority when it comes to Battlegrounds Mobile India. The developers note that they will be working with partners to ensure data protection and security at each stage. “This will ensure privacy rights are respected, and all data collection and storage will be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in India and for players here.”

As mentioned before, we still don’t have an official launch date for the game yet. But gamers would hope that this paves the way for a launch announcement that comes sooner rather than later.

Call of Duty: Mobile may soon get Akimbo Choppers with Season 4 update

The Akimbo perk in Call of Duty: Mobile has its fair share of critics, and for good reason. To recall, the perk allows users to dual-wield certain weapons. The weapon perk was first introduced with the Fennec SMG and was later added to the .50GS pistol. Now though, the Season 4 leaks suggest that a new weapon widget the perk, the Chopper LMG.

YouTuber, DogeBeanie posted a video where he shows the weapon in use on the Rust map. In its current state, the weapon seems incomplete as the audio and reload animations seem broken. It should also be noted that the weapons in the video have a flame aura around them, this suggests that there might be a new legendary LMG added to the game

With the Akimbo perk equipped, the player will only be able to hip-fire and the reload speed is drastically reduced. On the upside, the weapon’s firepower is doubled. This may seem like a fair enough trade-off on paper, but the reality isn’t that straightforward. Back when it launched, the Akimbo Fennec was the most metal weapon in the game as it should cut down enemies in an instant. It was so overpowered that the developers had to nerf the weapon down to the bone in order to balance it. However, the .50 GS pistol followed that that weapon is powerful enough for players to use it as their primary weapon. As such, there is some apprehension over this news. With an Akimbo Chopper LMG, players will get to dual-wield a weapon with high damage, a large magazine, and a decent rate of fire. Hopefully, Call of Duty: Mobile will ensure that even with the perk, the weapon remains balanced. 

Speaking of weapon balancing. The developers of Call of Duty: Mobile have announced that they will be bringing some major weapon rebalancing patches just before the Season 4 update. The move is designed to highlight the key aspects of each weapon category. You can learn more about that here.
