As part of their v1.8.5 February update, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has released a new Team Deathmatch map called Santorini. Recently, BGMI has partnered with a number of companies including Tesla, McLaren and others to add new exclusive features to the game.
Crafton has now begun teasing the game’s partnership with the popular manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen, which is said to be coming with an upcoming update. Let’s take a closer look at the partnership and what it could mean for BGMI.
Krafton will add four new anime characters to BGMI
As part of the new relationship that will be available to Erangel and Livik today, BGMI will be adding four important new characters, namely Megumi, Satoru, Yuuji, and Nobaru from the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen.
Players will also be able to interact with these newly added characters. According to a teaser video previously released by publisher Krafton, interested players will be able to select the Jujutsu Kaisen theme in Ranked Match Mode by pressing the arrow button on Erangel and Livik.
With the new update, players will be able to summon and fight the boss monster and cursed corpse using skull grenades in the Battle Royale title. Players can defeat these monsters to win unusual prizes. Crafton is also said to have included sealed treasure chests with loot items in the game. Players can find these crates to find rare ingredients that can be exchanged for rewards and achievements.
For those who don’t know, Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the best selling manga series of all time with over 50 million copies sold. The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen began airing in October 2020. The popularity of the anime series among anime fans has grown as one of the coolest and most popular new anime series of the year.
In addition to adding new anime characters, the developers have also introduced a new Santorini map. With this, BGMI will expand the number of Team Deathmatches to 16 players, allowing eight-player clans to team up and compete against each other. You can read more about the new mode here.
