BGMI 4.0 Goes Live in India With Spooky Soiree, Ghostie Companion and Magic Broom

Krafton highlights balance tuning, anti-cheat upgrades, matchmaking fixes, with a phased rollout likely to stagger availability.

Overview

  • Krafton has released the BGMI 4.0 update in India, though player access may appear in stages after outlets previously cited differing September 11 release times.
  • The Spooky Soiree mode adds haunted locations such as Wraithmoor Mansion, a magic mirror that reveals loot and releases ghosts, timid ghosts that drop supplies, and crates that can expose nearby enemies.
  • A mid-match Performing Dead concert notifies a location, triggers a ghost-band performance, and grants supply rewards with interactive prompts that can speed up and improve loot quality.
  • New gameplay systems include the Ghostie companion with selectable active and passive skills, a two-seat Magic Broom with dash and sweep abilities, and a Strength Potion that boosts mobility and damage resistance but disables firearms while enabling a ground-slam attack.
  • Patch notes call out weapon-balance adjustments, strengthened anti-cheat measures, and improved matchmaking to deliver smoother, fairer play during the limited-time Halloween event.
