Censorship laws can sometimes lead to games being banned from some countries. One prime example is Disco Elysium: Final Cut not arriving in Australia until two months later. The same goes for PUBG Mobile, which has been banned from multiple countries. However, producers KRAFTON isn't giving up on bringing PUBGM to India, no less thanks to the large player base there. KRAFTON continued its support towards India amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, even including India for PCS 4. But all that effort didn't lead to the Indian government unbanning PUBG Mobile. Hence, much more drastic measures had to be taken. Violence has to be toned down from the game, and a rebrand is in order. Introducing: BATTLEGROUNDS Mobile India.
BATTLEGROUNDS Mobile India now on early access in India
No censorship laws will stop KRAFTON from bringing the PUBG experience to India. Even if that means changing the name to BATTLEGROUNDS Mobile India. The localized version of PUBG Mobile for India is exactly the same as its global counterpart, with a few cosmetic changes. All references to the words ‘kill' have been removed. Words like ‘defeated' and ‘finishes' replace the word, with the word ‘knocked down' or ‘knocked out' still being there.
Another key difference is that blood has been removed from the game. Instead, every hit by a metal slug on a person spurts green liquid that's definitely not blood instead. That's it – just two changes and BATTLEGROUNDS Mobile is good to go in India. The game hit early access yesterday, now allowing Indian PUBG Mobile fans to reunite with their beloved battle royale game.
