BattleGrounds Mobile India (BGMI) developer Krafton India recently rolled out a new update for the game that introduces the popular Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh as a playable character. The company also named him as the official brand ambassador for the game. BGMI 2.9 update also brings new content such as the Ranveer Singh discovery event, the Ranveer Singh crate and a Play and Win event, allowing players to win two 3D avatars - RS Dark Stealth and RS Swaggy Baba. Krafton says it tried to capture "the essence of the star" with the newly introduced character skins. In addition to this, the collaboration introduces a special voice pack and new emotes like the Swagster Groove, Swagster Tathad, Swagster Sewayt and Swagster Twirl that are inspired by the actor's popular dance moves. The RS crate includes items like the RS Swaggy Buggy, RS Fury M249 gun skin, RS Dhamaka grenade skin, RS Pan-cho pan skin and a bunch of other rewards like space gifts and ornaments. However, opening and drawing rewards from these crates requires gamers to spend 30UC for the first crate, after which each draw will be priced at 60 UC. For the Ranveer Singh Discovery event, players can earn points by playing matches in Classic mode. It has 50 stages and lets gamers collect gifts like ornaments, parachutes and more. The Ranveer Singh Discovery event starts on December 1, 2023 and will last till January 5, 2024 and requires players to collect 100 points to unlock the stage and accumulate up to 5000 points when get to level 50. The Play and Win event requires gamers to collect RS tokens that can later be exchanged for permanent rewards from the exchange centre named 'Play Pure with Ranveer Singh'. Players will need to complete tasks such as Pure Showdown, Pure Speed, log in daily, team up with friends and play as Ranveer Singh. BGMI 2.9 update also brings some new locations such as the 'Snowy Village' that features rideable reindeer and high-speed snow rails. It has a two-storied building named Sculpture Plaxza and a weapon called Snowball Blasters that transforms enemies into snowmen. Krafton has also collaborated with car maker Pagani to bring two new car models.
