An official statement regarding its future plans could likely be released as soon as this week. PUBG corporation is also said to be planning to launch a new marketing campaign in the country next week.
PUBG Corporation has also been holding talks with several local firms to publish the game in the country, including SoftBank-owned Paytm and telecom giant Airtel.
