nCORE Games announced on November 30 that its long-awaited game FAU-G is available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store. Two days later, the game recorded the highest number of Play Store pre-registrations in India in the first 24 hours. The developers shared in a tweet that they received 1.06 million pre-registrations for the First Person Shooter (FPS) game and the numbers will increase in the coming days.
Initially, the game was supposed to launch in October, but it was delayed. In Dusshera, the game trailer was released showing glimpses of the Galwan Valley episode featuring a turban-clad soldier. There’s no word yet on the game’s confirmed release date, but the buzz is high. The game is a tribute to the Indian soldiers in charge of border security.
FAU-G, which stands for Fearless and United: Guards, was announced right after the Indian government banned the popular FPS game PUBG. However, Vishal Gondal, co-founder of nCore Games and CEO of fitness band GoQII clarified that it will not attempt to compete with PUBG.
FAU-G has not been announced as a battle royale game, but it will include crucial episodes in the history of the Indian armed forces. There is a possibility that a Battle Royale mode could be added later.
Before the release of FAU-G, there have been rumors that PUBG is making a comeback as well. However, it cannot function again without government approval, which has yet to be granted. Amid the confusion, FAU-G has benefited from the demand for local applications in the wake of the border unrest.
The description of the game reads: “High on the peaks of the northern border of India, an elite fighting group protects the pride and sovereignty of the nation. It is a daunting task, for the bravest: The Fearless and United Guards ”.
“Join a special unit of FAU-G commandos on patrol in dangerous border territory. Go head-to-head with the enemies of India as you take on hostile invaders on Indian soil. Fight for survival against unforgiving terrain and unforgiving enemy. Put on the shoes of a patriot soldier and experience the bravery, brotherhood and sacrifice of the men who protect the country’s borders. “
