The PUBG Corporation has recently announce that it will soon launch a new PUBG Mobile game in India, after being banned in the country in September due to the mobile app’s links to China’s Tencent.
The company said that it would create a new Indian subsidiary to oversee the title, and that the game would maximize data security and cater to local preferences.
The company also pledged to invest $100 million in the Indian gaming, esports, entertainment, and IT industries.
By ending deal with Tencent and localizing development and data storage for PUBG Mobile, the PUBG Corporation might be able to mollify India’s digital regulators.
The company also said that the re-launched game would have certain elements customized for Indian gamers. These include characters starting fully clothed, green liquid replacing blood, and framing the game as taking place in a virtual simulation training ground, not real life.
There will also be limits on how long players can use the game “to promote healthy gameplay habits for younger players.
