1 years ago By AI Smith

Over the last decade, mobile video games have progressed from the simpleton snake games on
a button phone to extremely detail-oriented, high resolution display, and phenomenal graphics at
the tip of your fingers. With the boom in technology, there came a massive uproar in video
games catering specifically for the youth, with the ascension of role-playing games. In these
role-playing games, people would play characters who would go on adventures, conquests, and
face challenges that they could once only dream of. From watching action movies to starring in
a similar fashion in action games, we have seen an upward trend of these games in the market.

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) stands proud as one of the most popular games in this
arena, so much so, that when the ban of PUBG was declared in India, there was a gaping hole
in the market to fill, and many up and coming mobile video games tried to step into their shoes.
When Tencent’s South Korean counterpart Krafton announced the release of Battlegrounds
Mobile India in 2021, there was a collective sigh of relief from the masses who had missed the
game and the vivacity it brought with it, dearly.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is a battle-royale video game in which 100 players form teams of 4
and battle others, until the last team standing wins. Over the past two years, BGMI has
undergone a series of updates that brought along with it slight changes in the feel of the game,
new maps, new skins, and a better gameplay.

Currently, the users are awaiting the release of BGMI 2.8 Update to drop, because the market is
abuzz with all new features which are making this anticipation even harder to resist.

When is the BGMI 2.8 Update Releasing?

Krafton India is keeping their cards very close to their chest about the release date of BGMI 2.8.
Although there is no official date for the release, it is alleged that the BGMI 2.8 Update is set to
drop sometime in the first half of October of 2023. Users can’t help but check out the update
every single day, because of the hype it has created around its release – including the new
skins, the much-awaited Zombie mode, and Weapons.

Zombie Mode Theme

Krafton India loves to keep the masses on their toes, and has been teasing a newly imbibed
Zombie mode theme. This Zombie theme has been tentatively named to be Zombie’s Edge. In
the map of Erangel, the zombie mode will be a theme mode. The Aerolith Lab and Zombie
Outpost are the two noteworthy locations in the mode.

Aerolith Lab:

Players get to witness a huge zombie boss in Aerolith Lab. Players will receive a sizable
quantity of gear as a reward for defeating the zombie boss, including the two new abilities that
allow them to climb buildings and dash through the air. Naturally, there are foes as well, so use
caution when entering Aerolith Lab.

Zombie Outpost:

Players can encounter two different kinds of zombies in the Zombie Outpost. After you kill the
zombies Mutant Burzerker and Mutant Destroyer, you will receive various powers in their
dropped treasure.

Along with the Zombie Mode, 2.8 is bringing with it a brand new A2 Royale Pass. This A2
Royale Pass is packed to the brim with new skins, emotes, weapons, and massive rewards and
prizes for its users.

2.8 brings with it some mythic skins which will be an intriguing addition. These skins will change
with the change in themes of Halloween. There are talks of 2.8 including skins of Indian
Cricketer Hardik Pandya, and much more. Along with these skins, there are multiple cool outfits
that you can pick and choose from, to make your experience unique, and very individualistic.
With the release of A2 Royale Pass, these new skins are accompanied by a bunch of
beach-themed rewards which include a new Surfside Sweetheart Set, Marvelous Emote, Vogue
Surfer Set, Marine Evolution – UMP45, Sweet Kiss Buggy, and much more.

Weapons have always been a major game changer for BGMI. A new melee knife, crossbow
weapon attachment, and hoverboard vehicle may also be included in the upcoming BGMI 2.8
update, according to the leaks.
