PUBG Mobile was one of the most played games in the Indian mobile gaming community until it was unceremoniously banned in the country by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
The battle royale game survived the first ban wave but was axed, alongside 117 other applications, back in September.
Much to the delight of fans in India, however, PUBG Mobile is set for a comeback to the country. However, it will be in the form of a special Indian version which will have some features that are different from the original game.
