The government had previously stated that it is unlikely to remove the ban on Chinese apps, including PUBG. To relaunch PUBG, Krafton has joined hands with Nodwin, a subsidiary of Nazara, another established gaming firm in India. It is now being speculated that the former will, in all probabilities, make full use of Nodwin’s local connection to bring back PUBG Mobile in India. Krafton has invested $22.4 million in Nodwin and both the developers have decided to host two PUBG Mobile events in Asia. The investment in Nodwin has given rise to speculations hovering around a possible PUBG Mobile India relaunch.
