BGMI players to co-create Rondo anthem for the game’s biggest map drop
MUMBAI: If you thought dropping into a new BGMI map was exciting, imagine having your words immortalised in its official anthem! Krafton India is handing the mic to the BGMI community, giving players the power to co-create the official Rondo anthem. With the highly anticipated launch of Rondo, BGMI’s latest battleground, fans now have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to influence the game’s legacy.
This initiative isn’t just about launching a map—it’s about making the community’s passion heard, quite literally. Players can submit their words and lyrics describing what Rondo means to them via:
1 Instagram comments – Dropping lyrical heat on BGMI’s official posts.
2 In-game mail survey – Making their mark straight from the game.
Select words from the community will be transformed into the official Rondo anthem, ensuring players’ voices live on in BGMI history. As a tribute, the anthem will be integrated into BGMI’s 3.7 update as the new lobby music—so every time players gear up, they’ll hear the echoes of their own creativity.
The first teaser of the anthem lands on 13 March, while the full track, featuring stunning cinematic visuals of Rondo’s vast landscapes, goes live on 18 March. To turn up the hype, Krafton India is rolling out an all-new campaign, ‘Aao Kabhi Rondo Mein’, inviting players to explore the battleground in ways they never have before.
The campaign runs from 7-16 March, so get involved and claim your spot in BGMI’s musical and gaming history.
