BGMI update: Krafton announces ‘Rising Tournament’ and exciting features, maps, more

The renowned South Korean video game developer, is ready to reintroduce players to Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) starting today. BGMI has been launched with the 2.5 Update, providing gamers with an enhanced and immersive gaming experience. To ensure a smooth experience, the game’s availability will be phased, allowing users to log in gradually. Within a maximum of 48 hours, all users will have access to login and enjoy playing the game.

The latest update brings exciting new elements to the game, including the introduction of a fresh map called Nusa, captivating in-game events, weapon upgrades, and a fantastic range of new skins to enhance the overall gameplay experience. Krafton is also reinforcing its commitment to promoting responsible gaming habits by implementing specific playtime limits. Players under the age of 18 will have a maximum playtime of three hours per day, while other players will have a limit of six hours. Additionally, parental verification and daily spending limits for minors remain integral features of the game.

Krafton has introduced a new 1×1 map called Nusa in BGMI, set on a tropical resort island. It stands as the smallest map in the game, providing players with fast-paced matches lasting only eight minutes. The map showcases several exciting features, including unique gameplay mechanics such as ziplines for swift island traversal and the ability to install elevators in hotel buildings within the “New City” area. Players can also enjoy engaging attractions like zorb balls, a swimming pool, combustible buildings, and destructible jars.

Furthermore, Nusa brings a new gameplay element called Super Recall. In duo/squad mode, fallen players can be revived to the battlefield by their surviving teammates within a specific time frame, equipped with a random weapon. In solo mode, players are automatically recalled without the need for a teammate’s assistance.

To enhance combat strategies, the Tactical Crossbow has been introduced as a new weapon. It allows players to restore ziplines using loops, set selected houses on fire with fire arrows, and grants improved accuracy for mid and close-range shots. Additionally, the weapon supports a peek & fire mode for firing shotgun bullets, switching to single-shot mode when scoped-in.

Lastly, a lightweight and speedy two-seater off-road ATV has been added to the game as a new vehicle. The ATV proves its worth by swiftly navigating through highly curvy terrains while maintaining excellent stability to prevent rollovers.
