last week the Indian government released an order to ban 118 Chinese apps in the country including the highly popular battle royale game, PUBG Mobile.While the gaming community has been upset and pretty vocal about the recent ban, we finally have some good news.
PUBG Corporation, the original internal gaming brand under Bluehole has come out with an official statement.
According to PUBG Corp, it is aware of the whole situation and is actively looking into the entire issue around the ban.It has also confirmed that PUBG Mobile will no longer be controlled by Tencent Games in India and that PUBC Corp will take all publishing responsibilities.
This essentially means that the original South Korea-based gaming company is taking over the responsibilities, and we could see the game being unbanned in the country soon.
Tencent had reportedly lost $34 billion in terms of market value, just a day after the ban on 118 Chinese apps in India.
Now, it is important to note that PUBG Mobile was banned in India but PUBG is still available for users.
This is because PUBG Mobile is the mobile version of the PUBG gamed, which was originally developed by PUBG Corporation, a South Korean gaming company.
However, PUBG Mobile came to the shore when the Chinese company Tencent Games bought a 1.5% stake in Bluehole Studio.This was the version that was banned by the Indian government due to its connection with China but not the PC version of the mobile gaming app.
