Krafton is preparing to make certain modifications to the game before relaunching it in India. One of the changes involves introducing an in-game timer that will help players keep track of their gaming sessions. Additionally, it is anticipated that the game will no longer display blood or have it default to a different color instead of red. Previously, players had the option to change the blood color to green or blue.
