KRAFTON India has rolled out the BGMI 4.6 update with several new experiences for players. The latest season brings the new Midnight Hunters theme mode, the return of Ocean Odyssey, and the India-first character Kiaraa. It also adds a One Punch Man collaboration, festive content, creator-focused features, and new WOW experiences. Here’s a look at the major additions coming to BGMI 4.6 and their release dates.
Midnight Hunters Brings a Vampire Twist to BGMI
BGMI 4.6 introduces Midnight Hunters as its main themed gameplay experience. The mode will remain available on Erangel from September 16 to November 16. Four locations, including Rozhok, Mylta, Quarry, and Gatka, become Vampire Takeover points. Stalber and Sosnovka Military Base now house the Nightkeeper’s Hunter Guild. The indoor arena hides secrets and offers new combat challenges. Squads can take on Guild Missions to complete special objectives and earn better rewards. Players can also explore the Hunter Shooting Range, Clock Tower, and Scream Crates. Bloodwalkers, Nightbats, the Vampire Elder, and the Nightkeeper add new threats.
The mode also changes what happens after a player gets eliminated. Bloodline Awakening allows eliminated players to return as Vampires. The game can have up to 20 active Vampires at once. These Vampires can use Claw Strike, Absorb, Blood Sense, and Blood Amberfication. Midnight Hunters also introduces several themed items. The Silvermoon Chain helps with combat, movement, and defense. Twilight Bat Wings support flight and enemy detection. Scarlet Tonic speeds up recovery, while Blood Pact connects teammates through persistent links.
Ocean Odyssey Returns, While Kiaraa Brings an India-First Experience
Ocean Odyssey is returning to Erangel on September 30 after continued requests from the BGMI community. The experience brings back the Ocean Palace, Trident, and Kraken. Players can once again explore the underwater world and enjoy its unique gameplay. While Midnight Hunters focuses on vampires, Ocean Odyssey takes players back beneath Erangel’s waters.
BGMI 4.6 also introduces Kiaraa, a new original character developed by KRAFTON India’s in-house art team for Indian players. Kiaraa follows Anamika, BGMI’s first original character IP created in India. She arrives in the game on October 8 with a new Diwali-themed Indian Bazaar on Erangel. Players can activate four peacock-shaped lamps to awaken Kiaraa and enter her Boss Battle. The season also includes Kiaraa Arena challenges, the Kiaraa Exchange Center, and daily login rewards. The Kiaraa Nakshatra Collection includes:
- Divine Peacock Glider
- Divine Radiance SCAR-L
- Divine Chariot Buggy
- Arrow Rain Emote
- Divine Edge Machete
One Punch Man, Techno Gamerz, and More Arrive in BGMI 4.6
The new BGMI season is also bringing several collaborations to the game. One Punch Man arrives on September 21 through a Spin and Mini Royale Pass. Players can collect character skins, themed sets, and other collaboration items. The Lincoln Motor Cruize runs from September 16 to November 9. It adds the Lincoln Model L and Lincoln Navigator Black Label, with multiple color options. Meanwhile, the B.DUCK collaboration introduces battles on floating platforms. Players can turn into B.DUCK and compete in turn-based collision matches. The goal is to knock opponents into the water as the play area shrinks.
Creator content also gets a major addition with the Techno Gamerz collaboration. It goes live on October 20 with a Techno Gamerz Voice experience, Sunken Templar collection, and themed weapons. BGMI will also mark Diwali with its first India-specific Prize Path. It runs from October 22 to November 15 across 20 levels. Rewards include the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, Revel 01 Set, and Diwali Gold Set. The season also includes Navratri and Diwali-themed experiences.
WOW gets a Halloween update for Steal Brainrot, along with Ghost Ship Event Mode and the Brainrot Wand. Its Mobile Editor also receives new tools for creation, gameplay, performance, and customization. WOW has crossed 50,000 created maps, with more than 35,000 live maps. Over 23 million players have tried WOW, and nearly one million play it daily. Platinum Soulmeister, Sanguine Sonata, and Umbral Scorpius will arrive on September 25, October 25, and November 1, respectively.
