While the hype around PUBG Mobile’s India return seems to have subsided, gamers in India are now gearing up for the homegrown action game FAU-G. This Made-in-India game is set to arrive on 26th January, honoring the country’s army on Republic Day. It does not come as a surprise but FAU-G has amassed “over 4 million pre-registrations” on Google Play ahead of its official launch.
If you didn’t know, FAU-G was announced right around the time when PUBG Mobile was banned in India alongside 100+ other Chinese apps. This Indian game went up for pre-registration on the Play Store back in November. It was able to attract more than one million pre-registrations in just the first 24 hours. This number has swelled past four million in the past couple of months and is expected to reach five million ahead of launch.
FAU-G is a third-person brawler title. It will support only a story-driven mode, to start with, and the first level will depict the skirmish between the Indian and Chinese forces at Galwan Valley. We have already gotten a first look at the home screen UI, a couple of weapons, and the gameplay. You can see it in the screenshot attached above.
In addition to a large number of pre-registrations, the nCore team has confirmed that Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has played an active role in FAU-G’s development. The actor is said to have played the game. He has reviewed multiple builds and offered feedback on how the character should look, weapon adjustments, and a lot more.
Whether it’s a problem within the country or at the border…these Bharat Ke Veer always stand tall. They are our Fearless And United Guards, our FAU-G! Witness the anthem 🦁
