"One can only hope" - GodLike's star player Jonathan on BGMI's ban reversal

The uncertainty surrounding BGMI's return has left fans curious, as everyone expects Krafton to make an announcement soon. Recently, Jonathan "Jonathan Gaming" Amaral, GodLike's superstar e-athlete, also spoke about Battlegrounds Mobile India's ban reversal during one of his streams.

Suggesting that no one in the gaming community knows a thing about the unban date, the BGMI star asked his fans to avoid any rumors or leaks for the time being. Here are Jonathan's exact words:

"No one knows the proper date. Even when someone assures you that the game is coming today, tomorrow, or whatever, do not believe them. You should wait (for the game). Even I am expecting some [sic]. I will start playing whenever the game becomes available."

Hoping for BGMI to make a comeback soon, Jonathan further added:

"Many are claiming that it will return, and I guess even Krafton also recently gave an official statement. In my opinion, from what I have heard, let's hope for the best. Fingers crossed. One can only hope that game returns as soon as possible."

For those unaware, Krafton CEO Chang Han Kim said the company has been trying to bring the game back to the market during a Q&A session of the FY2022 earnings call. Emphasizing the impact of Battlegrounds Mobile India's ban on Krafton's revenues in 2022, Kim expected "there will be additional and significant growth" after BGMI's return.
