Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) 1.7.0 Update Preview: New Themed Mode, Magical Monsters & More

BGMI 1.7.0 is just around the corner, and Krafton has just released a small preview of what’s in store for players in the game’s next big update. The long awaited Piggyback feature is finally in the game, as are several new game modes such as the new Theme Mode: Mirror World.

In partnership with the new League of Legends Netflix show Arcane, monsters from Arcane will be coming to BGMI to bring the world to life. There is something to love about the upcoming update as players are also saying goodbye to Vikendi who is coming out of the rotation in the new update.

BGMI 1.7.0 update notes preview

Piggyback will definitely have a big impact on gameplay as it pretty much provides players with more options to revive their teammates, just like before, dropping a smoke bomb was about as safe as one would require during a respawn. The grenade indicator has been a shooter staple for some time now and is a very useful tool to help players avoid easy avoidable deaths. The BGMI 1.7.0 update definitely looks like it will add a little to the game and is scheduled for release on November 19th, as Krafton confirmed.

A video posted on BGMI’s social media shows some of the new changes to the game, including a new grenade indicator that’s sure to come in handy. Other major gameplay changes include the Piggyback feature, which essentially allows teammates to carry downed teammates to safety and revive them. The Mirror World themed mode certainly looks pretty fun and will hopefully change the gameplay significantly.
