September 1, 2023

In the upcoming year, prominent video game producer Krafton from South Korea plans to release further titles in India while searching for the ideal strategic alliance to increase its investment in the nation.

According to Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO of Krafton India, BGMI will be making additional announcements for India before to the Diwali festival.

“We have a few games in the works for publication. During a media event here, Sohn remarked, “I think there could be one or two games we could potentially launch this year.

The company has concentrated on creating mobile gaming apps specifically for the Indian market.

The business has invested $140 million in 11 startups since March 2021, including NODWIN Gaming, Loco, Pratilipi, Kuku FM, One Impression, and others.

The business just committed to spending an additional $150 million over the following two to three years.

“BGMI is more than just a game; it’s also a social and cultural event. Sohn claims that Krafton isn’t interested in architectural perspectives but rather is “focused on building a community-based fan-first research.”

The business is also arranging a friendly invitational competition between Korea and India in which eight BGIS champion teams and eight South Korean Esports teams will compete in BGMI.

The ‘Indian Faction in Road To Valor: Empires’ will be the subject of a documentary that Krafton will also release.
Exclusively for players in India, Krafton created and distributed BGMI, the country’s version of PUBG Mobile.

Later, in accordance with Section 69A of the Information Technology Act of 2000, the Indian government issued orders to Google and Apple ordering them to remove the BGMI gaming app from their respective online shops.

The South Korean video game developer announced on May 30 that the game BGMI is now playable for all users in India on both Android and iOS.

After the corporation adhered to regulations regarding server locations and data security in the nation, the government approved the restoration of the game for a three-month trial period.
