BGMI 4.0 Update leaks: Ghostie's skills, new theme mode and more
Krafton, the battle royale game developer, will introduce the brand-new theme mode with new locations, new features and more. More details are below:
Wraithmoor Mansion: This is a sprawling estate brimming with eerie charm and strange supernatural details. Within its haunted halls lie several unique zones, including a botanical garden, a twisting labyrinth, a memorial site, and a plant cultivation area. At the heart of the mansion is a sealed magic mirror; unlock it to unleash hidden treasures and free trapped spirits, while also triggering a sudden change in the weather.
The Performing Dead: During the match, players will receive a notification pointing to a special concert location where the ghostly band, The Performing Dead, is set to perform. Entering the area triggers the concert, and once the show concludes, attendees are rewarded with valuable supplies. In this, the players can also interact with the band during the performance. If they notice a ghost playing an off note, they can offer a 'reminder' to help correct it. In case their timing is right and the performance improves, you'll be rewarded with faster and higher-tier supplies.
