GAME FOR PEACE TO REPLACE PUBG MOBILE IN CHINA

Playerunknown's battlegrounds Mobile or PUBG Mobile is by far one of the most successful games ever made for mobile devices. Currently PUBG Mobile has more than 227 Million Players worldwide. Developed by the Chinese tech-giant and game developer Tencent, it was no surprise that China serves as the most significant user base for the game, around 70 Million. What was a surprise though is that Tencent is shutting down PUBG Mobile in China.

TENCENT IS SHUTTING DOWN PUBG MOBILE IN CHINA

The sudden "shutdown" announcement came as a result of Tencent failing to secure a government license to monetise the game. Some reports suggest that the violent nature of the game is one of the reasons why the Chinese regulatory authority denied the monetisation license in the first place.

It's not the first time PUBG Mobile is criticised by government authorities for it's so-called "violent & addictive" nature. The game faced several instances of a ban in some parts of India and Nepal for the very same reasons in the past few months. You can read this report to know more - "PUBG MOBILE: TO BAN OR NOT TO BAN".

PUBG Mobile even faced a trial in China December last year when it failed to compile with norms set by Chinese state-based regulatory authority, SAPP.

However, Tencent is not done yet. Along with the shutdown of PUBG Mobile in China, Tencent announced another game, named "Heping Jingying" or "Game for Peace". The game has a patriotic, government-friendly, anti-terrorist theme with less violence as a report by Technode suggests.


Players across China who logged into their PUBG Mobile accounts on Tuesday were directed to update the game. Later the updated game showed a notice announcing the launch of the open beta of Game for Peace.

OUR THOUGHTS ON "Game for Peace"

The game plays and feels exactly like the recently leaked version of PUBG Mobile China with few visual changes. We suggest you read the article "PUBG MOBILE UPDATE: A New Hope" to get a more in-depth look.

The game puts some effort to appear as an army game with a cargo troop carrier plane in the lobby background.

Fighter Jets now escort the plane that carries the players to the island.

The winning team or players are escorted out of the Island in an airforce chopper.

The top 20 or so players are greeted with a screen where they can see their character celebrating on a stage after the game is over. Everything else is just the same.

Tencent claims the game as "a tribute to the warriors who defend the territorial air space of China" and will help in the recruitment of soldiers into the Chinese airforce.

It seems like The tech-giant (Tencent) probably expected the monetisation licence denial. Thus they were working internally on the project which got approval from the SAPP in early April this year. The game is currently promoted as a "Military skills competition game" as reports suggest.

PUBG MOBILE UPDATE: A New Hope

PUBG Mobile is testing a new update with more detailed graphics, smoother gameplay, team death-match and more!!! Continue reading to find out what's in this update...

Hey everyone.

A few days ago we told you that Call of Duty Mobile completed 10 Million+ pre-registrations on Google Playstore.

You can read the article here - PUBG MOBILE ERA IS COMING TO AN END AS CALL OF DUTY MOBILE MAKES A NEW RECORD!!!

The news that was the courtesy of the official "Call of Duty News" twitter handle resulted in a wave of gossips regarding how one of the most popular (if not the most popular) mobile game, PUBG Mobile will be dethroned by Call of Duty Mobile once the latter is released.

[Read the article - CALL of DUTY MOBILE SPECULATED RELEASE DATE ]

Seems like PUBG Corp. was taking notes and will not go down without a fight. The developers are restlessly working on new updates to keep the game appealing to the users over time.

[Read about - all the Major PUBG Mobile Updates ]

So Let's take a look at everything new that has been added in the latest Chinese Beta update.

Special Thanks to Mr.Ghost Gaming (Link to his channel) for making this possible. All the credits go to him. Do Subscribe to his channel.

PUBG MOBILE UPDATE

#Note: This Chinese Beta Update was leaked by some user. This was not officially available until then.

TEAM DEATH-MATCH

Image source Mr.Ghost Gaming

PUBG Mobile is trying new modes ever since the zombie mode became popular.
[Read about - PUBG MOBILE ZOMBIE MODE ]

Now the developers are adding a team deathmatch mode. This mode will feature a new tiny map just a few hundred metres in length and width. (We are working on a detailed article on the Team DeathMatch in PUBG Mobile so stay tuned!!)

NEW DEATH ANIMATION

Players will wave at you while sitting down when you kill them. Same will happen to your avatar when you die. Maybe it was put in the game just to reduce the so-called in-game "violence".

BULLET IMPACT

Bullet impact is changed. Instead of blood or green electricity, the animation has been changed. Now there will be a pink-purple coloured spark (by default) whenever you shoot someone. Additionally, you can always change the colour to green, blue or yellow. It can be exclusive to PUBG Mobile China due to some violence restriction on video games in China.

NEW ZONE

The zone is now purple-pink in colour. We are not sure why is that, but it is a significant visual change. Now you will not lose health if you are outside the zone. Instead, you will have a different "zone health bar" just beneath your health bar.

Once you are outside the zone, you will see a 205 seconds timer on your screen. You have to get in the zone in 205 seconds, or you will die. If your zone has bar is low you will have to take "zone health booster" and "zone medkits" to restore it and buy yourself some time.

We personally believe that this new zone health bar system is a bit more complicated and not really something that we liked to say the least.

MORE REALISTIC GUNS

Now it is more of a cosmetic change than anything, but it still is a nice improvement. Guns now have extra texture and detail. We will leave some screenshots below so you can have a look for yourself.

NEW TRAINING MAP

Although it is not really new, the map is now covered with snow giving it a Vikendi look. Everything else is the same. There is also a First-Person Perspective (FPP) training mode.

Here are a few more screenshots of the FPP training mode.

REVAMPED LOBBY

The lobby is Changed. The field is changed with a more beautiful what looks like a cliff. You can see a smouldering fire behind you at a distance. Really pleasing to the eye.

IMPROVEMENTS

We didn't get to test this Update in hand, but the players who tried this update all said that the game feels much more fluid.

There is an increase in texture details as well making it more realistic looking. Of course, you can turn down the graphics settings in lower-end phones.

Minor Changes

More island added in Erangel

Now when you fly into Erangel, you will notice there is a lot more island surrounding the actual map. This gives it a more vast look, but sadly, this is purely cosmetic. You can't land on or swim to these islands. You will be blocked by an invisible wall. 

EndNote:

As stated earlier, this China Beta was leaked by someone, so it is very much in internal testing. Nobody knows if this will come to the global version. There were a couple of features in the previous Chinese Beta versions that never made it to the global version. 

However, we are pretty sure that the team deathmatch mode will be made available soon. Other graphics improvements are also likely to follow suit.

That's everything for today. Thank you for reading our article "PUBG MOBILE UPDATE: A New Hope". Don't sit around, share this knowledge with your friends and teammates and brag about it.

PUBG MOBILE ERA IS COMING TO AN END AS CALL OF DUTY MOBILE MAKES A NEW RECORD!!!

Call of Duty Mobile is all set to take on PUBM Mobile as it is nearing its launch with a whopping 10M+ pre-registrations. Continue reading to find out more...

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since we heard anything from the Developers of Call of Duty. Recently they announced that the game will be made available in the Playstore from "Sometime in May 2019". This falls in line with the speculations we made in our article "CALL OF DUTY MOBILE SPECULATED RELEASE DATE" be sure to check it out!

Call of Duty Pre-registration Record

Before its release, Call of Duty Mobile opened pre-registration for the game and has gained quite some interest all around the world. A little over 10 Million + pre-registrations on Playstore!!! to be precise. This is an industry record! The news that turned heads broke in from the "Official Call of Duty News" twitter handle on 2nd May.

The Call of Duty Mobile game has over 10 million pre-registrations on Google Play. Company is excited to bring Call of Duty to mobile.

— Call of Duty News (@charlieINTEL) May 2, 2019

This is a massive success for the developers working on Call of Duty Mobile. 10 Million is a huge number for a game that is yet to be released. We all know how PUBG Mobile is a and leader & No.1 spot holder when it comes to mobile games to this date. But with the vast number of pre-registration, Call of Duty is all set to give PUBG some stiff competition. Do keep in mind that the game is only available in certain countries for pre-registration and numbers are likely to go up even more. Currently PUBG Mobile has 100 Million+ Downloads on Playstore and a similar number of Downloads from Appstore.
Call of duty Mobile made its beta debut in Australia around December - January. According to the developers, the game is still in a beta stage and is going through various optimisations as it is nearing its official release. We were first able to catch a glimpse of the game at GDC 2019, and Only a handful of people had the chance to test the game beforehand. Call of Duty Mobile will feature a 5v5 Team Death Match, Zombie Mode (in a very Call of Duty classic style) and the most awaited Battle Royal Mode. More details will be released with the release of the game.
