3 upcoming shooting games to look out for after BGMI ban

BGMI took the entire Indian gaming community by storm when it was released back in 2021 during the Covid hiatus. Within a year of its release, the title amassed over 100 million downloads, making it one of the most popular Battle Royale games on the market.

However, much to the surprise of players and fans across the country, Battlegrounds Mobile India was removed by Google and Apple from their respective virtual stores on 28 July. The companies acted on the orders of the Indian government that found malicious codes in the app which could be harmful to the country's security.

There has been no official announcement regarding the BGMI unban till date and players have started searching for forthcoming games that can quench their thirst for an action gaming experience.

3) Battlefield Mobile

EA Dice is the developer of the console and PC variant of the Battlefield game. However, they have teamed up with Industrial Toys to develop the mobile variant of the shooting game.

Although many features are expected to be similar to that of the PC and console version, many more are set to be added to the mobile variant, which will keep users hooked on to the game.

Since Battlefield 2042 has also achieved great success, the developers will be looking to replicate the same success in Battlefield Mobile.
