FAUG is now available for pre-registration in India.
FAU-G, the ‘Made in India’ game, which was announced in September, is now available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store. The game was supposed to launch in late October when it was first announced, at a time when the government had banned the popular first-person shooter (FPS) game PUBG Mobile. Then in late October, nCore Games, which is the creator of the game, released a trailer talking about a November release.
The link on Google Play is for pre-registration only. Once you sign up, Google Play will notify you when the game is available. FAU-G stands for Fearless And United: Guards. It is a game that will pay tribute to the armed forces of India, with a focus on the soldiers stationed at the nation’s borders.
According to the November teaser, the first episode is based on the ‘Galwan Valley’ clashes with China. However, the description does not mention the Galway Valley incident as such. The description of the game reads: “High on the peaks of India’s northern border, an elite fighting group protects the pride and sovereignty of the nation. It’s 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. “

The description of the game also says that it is based on real world scenarios. In September, Vishal Gondal, co-founder of nCore Games and also CEO of fitness brand GoQII, said that FAU: G is not meant to compete with PUBG. He had told indianexpress.com in an interview: “FAU-G was always in the works and we were getting ready for a launch in October. The PUBG Mobile ban was a coincidence. “
The game was also announced on Twitter by actor Akshay Kumar. In his tweet, the actor had said that 20 percent of the net income generated will be donated to the BharatKeVeer Trust fund. Gondal also revealed that the name FAU-G is the brainchild of actor Akshay Kumar.
Interestingly, PUBG Corporation has also announced efforts to bring PUBG Mobile back to India, with a special focus on the Indian market and some features that would only be available here. However, PUBG Mobile will only be able to run in India once the app is approved by the government.
