Krafton India is set to release an Indian version of the mobile game Bullet Echo. Named Bullet Echo India, the game is a result of the collaboration between developer ZeptoLab and the maker of Battlegrounds Mobile India.
As spotted by Pain_7 on Reddit and @SargeOP on X/Twitter, pre-registrations for the game are already available on the Play Store and App Store. By pre-registering for Bullet Echo India, players will receive an exclusive pre-registration chest and the Sparkle customised hero skin.
According to The Mobile India and later confirmed by IGN India, ZeptoLab confirmed the launch of the Indian version of Bullet Echo through an in-game announcement. According to the announcement, the Indian players will have the “exclusive opportunity” to switch to the Indian version from April 4, 2024. However, we are not sure about the launch of the game for everyone else. Considering the wording used by ZeptoLab, the general launch could come days or weeks later.
ZeptoLab shared the reason behind this by added that it wants to deliver “the best gaming experience” along with “unique content” that is in line “with the preferences” of the Indian gamers.
