Earlier today (1st September 2021), Krafton Inc officially announced the arrival of PUBG: New State in India. The studio has started the pre-registration of the mobile game in the region that has already been available in various other countries across the globe.
Krafton unveiled the game for India on the official PUBG: New State website. For those interested, you can register for the game on Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. The inclusion of iOS support right from the start is a welcomed change over BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) which had first launched only in Android, with support for Apple devices arriving a few after the initial release.
For those unaware, New State is a different title from the company’s massively popular vanilla PUBG Mobile game. This version of the game arrives with new maps, which have a more urban setting over its classic battle royale variant that seen great success. One of the new maps include Troi that comes with a number of new weapons and vehicles that are different from the known cars and bikes you’ve seen in PUBG Mobile.
Furthermore, another notable inclusion is the new weapon customization feature that allows players to modify their weapons inside a match with various attachments. With New State, Krafton is bringing back its franchise in India, after PUBG Mobile got banned in the country back in September 2020. While the company has already launched an exclusive Indian version of the game (BGMI), the new game will carry the official ‘PUBG’ moniker.
