The wildly-popular battle royale mobile game, BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), was banned in India by the government earlier this year. Krafton had previously assured its player base that it is working to bring the game back to India, but there's been no update on that front yet. However, Chicken Dinner lovers would be pleased to know the game could be making its way back on the Google Play Store.
According to AFKGaming, BGMI content creators Pratik "Alpha Clasher" Jogiya and Sohail "Hector" Shaikh claim that Battlegrounds Mobile India is returning to Android a.k.a. the Google Play Store very soon. The game will allegedly be playable on Android once again in India on January 15.
BGMI is allegedly returning to Android phones in India once again. BGMI content creators Pratik "Alpha Clasher" Jogiya and Sohail "Hector" Shaikh have both confirmed this. In Alpha Clasher's recent livestream, a player with the in-game name "predatorsasuke" joined the stream and claimed to have information regarding the relaunch of BGMI.
He claimed to have worked at Google and shared a tentative relaunch date of BGMI. He said, "You’d be very happy, BGMI will launch on Google Play Store on 15th January; it is a tentative date."
Not too long after Alpha's livestream, Hector also confirmed the timeline – revealing that BGMI is allegedly scheduled to return in January. He said, "The game is going to return in January, someone from Google said this. I don’t know this personally, but I have heard this. That person is someone important in the Google community; he is someone in a leadership position. It doesn’t matter if someone from the gaming community says that the game will return. That person said that the game would return on 15th January."
Do take all this information with a grain of salt since nothing concrete has been confirmed by Krafton or Google.
