Krafton Announces BGMI 4.7 Update with Arctic Chronicles Theme

Krafton India has confirmed the release schedule for the BGMI 4.7 update. The company shared the details on Tuesday. The update will bring a new winter-themed experience to Battlegrounds Mobile India.

The main highlight is Arctic Chronicles. This mode draws inspiration from Jormungandr, the giant serpent from Norse mythology. It will run from November 18, 2026, to January 18, 2027. Players can access it on Erangel, Livik, and Vikendi.

In this mode, an ancient beast becomes part of the battleground. Players can blow a horn to awaken the beast’s tail. This action raises a submerged tower from the water. The creature’s massive body also merges with the terrain. As a result, it hides new areas, supplies, and alternate routes across the map. Players will also get the chance to confront the beast directly. However, full details of this encounter remain under wraps for now.

Further seasonal content will arrive in the coming weeks. On December 3, Krafton will introduce Erangel Subzero. This mode will be available in Ranked matches on Erangel. It revolves around a secret experiment that goes wrong. Tesonic satellites crash onto the island and release a cold gas. The gas gradually freezes nearby areas.

Consequently, several familiar locations will change. Stalber will freeze over. Shelter will turn into a satellite crash site that may hold rare supplies. Part of the Sosnovka bridge will also collapse. The mode will add new cold-weather gear and vehicles.

The celebrations will continue with the Snow Festival on December 17. This mode will bring a festive playground into the game. On December 31 at 8 PM IST, a giant countdown will appear in the sky across most BGMI maps. The countdown will lead to a fireworks display at midnight.

Krafton plans to share trailers, additional reveals, and complete details through its official YouTube and Instagram channels before the update rolls out.
