The Indian Esports gaming scene is waiting in anticipation which game will launch first in India, PUBG Mobile or FAU-G. Both games have been plagued with delays, with FAU-G expected to release in October, but has yet to be released. PUBG Mobile India was registered on the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, had given previews and great updates on the launch of the game on Diwali. However, its launch has been potentially delayed until January-February 2021 because MEITY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) has not yet given permission to start operating in the country.
MEITY was the entity that banned PUBG in September and its authorization is mandatory if they have to start operations in the country. Now, with both games stalling and with PUBG Mobile India facing a lag, the advantage is clearly with FAU-G for a variety of reasons.
Pre-registration numbers
FAU-G had apparently registered a million pre-registrations on Tuesday. According to a report from InsideSport, the game registered a record 1.06 million pre-registrations in less than 24 hours. PUBG Mobile India has been affected by the authenticity of its previous TapTap registration and that has not added to the confusion for players. In the Google Play Store link, FAU-G is available and there is a tag that says Coming Soon. For PUBG, there has been no such update and they have had to rely on certain ads to keep the excitement going.
Release date
PUBG Mobile India has unfortunately been caught in the government bureaucratic process where they have sought a meeting with MEITY but the request has yet to be granted. Given that it is a foreign entity and despite removing the Chinese entity from Tencent, PUBG Mobile India’s delay for a meeting with MEITY has delayed its launch until February 2021.
There is no such problem for FAU-G as it is an Indian company and the developers, ncore games, have said that the game could be released in late 2020, which could steal a large chunk of the gaming segment that considered PUBG to be the last. action game.
Actual incident
According to the game’s developers and various media reports, FAU-G will be based on the Galwan Valley episode. Unlike PUBG Mobile India, FAU-G will be based on actual incidents. This could boost the Aatmanirbhar catchphrase set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and in the current mood, many gamers might want to experience a real life action sequence.
So with these key factors, FAU-G is ready to steal the show from PUBG Mobile India. The only way that perhaps PUBG Mobile India can beat FAU-G is in the improved graphics and friendly user interface it could provide.
