PUBG Mobile India Launch Date Speculations
PUBG Corp’s official announcements came through the company’s social media handles, in which fans saw the Diyas and lanterns in the background and a hint of PUBG Mobile India.
"An all-new PUBG MOBILE is coming to India. Share with your squadmates NOW!" stated PUBG Corp in a post last November.
As such, many people had been hyped up since then, considering that they could once again enjoy the much-loved battle-royale title amid the Diwali celebrations.
Some well-known personalities in the PUBG Mobile community like Kronten Gaming speculated that the game might return to India by November 20th, 2020.
However, the game didn’t take place on that date as expected and an official release date is nowhere to be found for the time being.
Fans and media meanwhile can’t stop themselves from speculating another launch date for PUBG Mobile India. A video that surfaced on YouTube, deleted later, claimed that the game could be launched anytime between January 15 and 19, sparking hopes in millions of fans anticipating its re-launch. In the end, we're yet to encounter its presence anywhere.

PUBG Mobile's Indian branch
PUBG Mobile Corp. aka Krafton has started setting up a sustainable future in India after revealing its $100M investment for an Indian subsidiary to contribute to the development of the Indian video game, esports, IT, and entertainment industries.
Data migration between PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile India
Several viral clips on social media were found claiming that user data from PUBG Mobile is being transferred to the PUBG Mobile India servers. This was one of the biggest revelations as the user data comprised of many valuable things. Some players had a skin inventory worth thousands of dollars and the normal stats and ranking information was also of utmost importance for every PUBG Mobile player.
This transfer could have solved these problems as players could just access their old accounts instead of creating a new one for the newly developed PUBG Mobile India. No further developments regarding this lead were disclosed.
