Krafton Inc, the South Korean game publisher behind the wildly-popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) franchise, took to social media to announce the pre-registration dates for its India spin-off title Battlegrounds Mobile India.

Developers announced the opening of the pre-registration for PUBG New State back in February 2021. Gamers went forth and showed their loyalty towards the popular battle royale brand by signing up for the pre-registration for PUBG New State.

Later on, it was revealed that over 10 million pre-registrations were done within 50 days of the game being announced.

PUBG New State Mobile will be globally available, with China, Vietnam and India being the exceptions. Official tweets reveal that there is no exact release date as of now, but gamers can expect a region-limited alpha test during Q2 of 2021.

PUBG Mobile: Simple Steps to Register on Google Play Store and iOS App Store

PUBG New State Mobile pre-registration has been open since February 2021 and will remain active until the official release of the game. Pre-registration will also be beneficial for gamers, as Krafton Inc. has declared that all pre-registered users will receive a permanent limited-edition vehicle skin.

The early bird benefits on offer have worked wonders for the game, as the number of pre-registrations has consistently been increasing. However, if someone has not yet registered for PUBG New State Mobile, they can do so by following some simple steps.

Gamers will be required to visit the Google Play Store from their devices and type in PUBG New State Mobile. Upon entering, gamers will be required to click the pre-register button on the PUBG New State page. Gamers will be able to claim their in-game rewards once the game releases.

PUBG New State Mobile is currently only available to Android users. iOS users need to remain patient, as the developers have promised that they’ll roll out pre-registration soon.

The pre-registrations will begin on May 18, 2021 on the Google Play Store, but it is unclear whether it will also go live on the Apple App Store on the same day. The game will be free to play, with microtransactions, which is the same model that PUBG followed.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is said to be tailor-made to meet the data localisation and security requirements of the Indian government after it banned PUBG over these concerns in September last year.

The new Indian version of PUBG has some different in-game mechanics and micro-transactions will be limited to INR 7,000 per user. Users under the age of 18 will have to log in from their parents’ devices and will be only allowed 3 hours of daily playtime. However, it is unclear how the game will confirm a user’s age or enforce the time limits. Further, Battleground Mobile India will not feature any blood effects.

While PUBG Mobile has been banned in India, the console and PC versions of PUBG remain unaffected. PUBG Mobile had over 175 Mn downloads and around 50 Mn monthly active users in India, as per reports, before its ban. Other games such as Call of Duty mobile and Garena Free Fire saw their user base grow in the wake of the PUBG Mobile ban. Indian games also looked to fill the gap.

Developers have revealed on the Google Play Store that PUBG New State will be a new experience for gamers.

The game is set up in the year 2051 and hence gamers can expect a lot of futuristic equipment and weapons. A new 8x8 map named Troi has been introduced and the teaser reflects a futuristic landscape under attack.

It is projected that Indian mobile gamers will reach about 370 million users by the year 2022, making India one of the largest markets for mobile games.

After the huge success of PUBG Mobile, gamers are hopeful that the new variant will be another success story from Krafton Inc. However, with the unavailability of an exact release date, all gamers can do right now is pre-register and hope for further news from the developers.
