PUBG Corporation has announced that it is preparing to launch PUBG Mobile India, a new game specially made for the Indian market.
There is no word about the exact date of when the game will be made available but the company seems to be ready with an elaborate plan to re-launch it in India.
The new game will maximize data security for its players and adhere to the local regulations, PUBG Corporation said.
PUBG Corporation said that there will be regular audits and verifications on the storage systems that store the personal information of Indian users in order to make sure that the data is kept safe.
The developers have also states that they will improve in-game content and also customise it to “reflect local needs.” These changes include a virtual simulation training ground setting, clothing on new characters, and green hit effects instead of red. It will also add a feature to restrict game time for younger players.
PUBG further stated that it plans to create an Indian subsidiary, which will help in communication with players and provide them with localised services. It intends to hire over 100 employees that will specialise in business, esports and game development.
It will also work with local businesses to strengthen its gaming service. PUBG Corporation and parent company Krafton are planning to make $100 million investments in India to cultivate the local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries.
According to a statement by the company, this will be the largest investment made by a Korean company outside the manufacturing industry. It also plans to make investments by hosting India-exclusive esports events, which will feature the tournaments, prize pools, and the tournament productions.
The company said they will reveal more information on the launch of PUBG Mobile India at a later date.
It is to be mentioned that PUBG Mobile was banned back in September by the Indian government and PUBG Corporation had also announced that it will no longer authorise the PUBG Mobile franchise to Shenzhen-based Tencent Games in India.
