PUBG Mobile’s return in India is still uncertain, but its long-awaited local rival FAU-G finally has a release date. Yes, Fearless and United Guards (FAU-G) will finally arrive on your mobile devices later this month. The game developer not only confirmed FAU-G release date but also share a new cinematic video today. It gives us a closer look at the gameplay, combat styles, and weapons.
FAU-G release date announced
In an official tweet, developer nCore Games has confirmed that FAU-G will launch in India on January 26, 2021. The company has been known to pick auspicious days to poke fun at the game. And well, the launch of the game will coincide with Republic Day in the country. You can check the official announcement right here:
What will you do when they come? We will stand firm and fight, because we are not afraid. United. Unstoppable FAU: G! Witness the anthem 🦁 FAU: G! #FAUG #nCore_Games

The release date reveal is accompanied by a new cinematic video, which gives us another look at the game. The teaser shows FAU-G commandos fighting enemies trying to enter the country at LAC (Line of Royal Control) in Ladakh. This is probably the “first mission of the game”, which is said to be based on the skirmish between the Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley. It resulted in the martyrdom of 20 soldiers and this game is a way of showing our respect to these brave men.
Game and combat details
In the teaser video above, we also get a first taste of the match at FAU-G. You will not only fight enemies (we are talking about close combat) but you will also be able to use clubs (as shown below) and even firearms. You can see the soldiers wearing what looks like AK-47s in the video. We’ve also gotten a first look at the home screen user interface, which shows your character front and center. There also seem to be two types of currency in the game.
Also, if you didn’t know yet, FAU-G is not a Battle Royale game like PUBG. If you are looking to fight other real players, you are wrong. However, a Battle Royale mode is said to be in the works and will arrive at a later date.
We got our first official look at FAU-G on the occasion of Dusshera, with the Android pre-registration opening at Gurupurab at the end of November. The game has already earned over 1 million pre-registrations. It will initially be available on Android devices, with an iOS release scheduled for sometime in the future.
