It has been exactly a month since BGMI was delisted from Google and Apple's virtual stores on the orders of the Indian government. MEITY put a potential suspension on the game's purchases and downloads due to a suspected privacy breach.

Since then, rumors regarding the game's return have surfaced online. Indian gamers are willing to learn if Krafton has announced any unban date for Battlegrounds Mobile India.


Fake images highlighting BGMI unban date surface on the internet while Krafton still remains silent on the matter

Since the game's release, fans and players have always been active on social media. Users are sharing relatable content on their handles and trying to engage the audience with their posts. An image has recently surfaced online showing Battlegrounds Mobile India's comeback.

Based on the image, the popular title was all ready to make its comeback to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on 22 August. However, disappointingly, it has been days since then and Battlegrounds Mobile India is still unavailable for Indian players.

The image also threw light on an imaginary schedule of the game's unban. It highlighted that BGMI was to be made available for iOS gamers around 4:00 PM IST on the said date. It also stated that it would be available for Android gamers between 12:30 PM and 7:30 PM IST on the same day.

However, the circulated image turned out to be fake and unreliable.

Since MEITY is yet to lift the ban from Battlegrounds Mobile India, fans and players must learn that Krafton India is yet to announce any official unban date as well. This highlights that the wait for any announcement regarding the unban date is further prolonged.

Towqeer then went on to post a story on his popular Instagram handle that hinted at the game's comeback. In the story, he wrote that someone had previously asked about the chances of the game's return, and he replied by saying that he was 80% certain. However, after the meeting, he realized that the odds of BGMI making a comeback had increased to 95%.

It remains to be seen when MEITY and Krafton India will settle the matter and get the game back on track.
