The BGMI 3.0 Update is set to be released on Jan. 25 in India by Krafton. However, the specific release time has not been officially announced yet. Players can keep an eye out for the update by clearing their cache and refreshing their application store to stay informed about its availability.
It is expected that the update will first roll out for Android users, followed by iOS. The update introduces a new theme called “Shadow Blade”, featuring a short-range weapon designed for close-range combat. Players equipping the Shadow Blade will have access to shot blocking or a bulletproof ability when targeted by opponents.
The BGMI 3.0 Update also brings the addition of the Gulag, a concept originally introduced in Call Of Duty Warzone. Once killed, players will have the chance to respawn twice, using the recall tower for the first respawn and engaging in a 1v1 duel in the Gulag for the second.
Are There Any Changes To The Weapons & Maps In The New Update?

The map of Erangel will undergo reworking in the BGMI 3.0 Update, with zones like the Military base, Pochinki, and Georgopol receiving visual updates. Additionally, a new feature will allow the driver to heal themselves while driving. This update promises to bring interesting changes to the gameplay experience.
Despite these updates, powerful guns like the DBS and SK-12 are yet to be nerfed and remain dominant in the community and professional gameplay. With no alterations to the zone circles, it seems that the professional meta of the game will largely remain unchanged.
