FAU-G made in India PUBG Mobile-rival will launch on January 26; makers confirm game’s LAC setting

FAU-G, short for Fearless and United Guards, a ‘made in India’ mobile game based on ‘real-world scenarios’ will launch on January 26, nCore Games announced on Sunday. The confirmation was also shared by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who has been actively promoting the game since news that something like it was in development broke cover. FAU-G is currently available for pre-registration on Android.

For quick context, FAU-G is a made in India shooter game developed by Bengaluru-based nCore Games that “pays tribute to the heroes of our nation’s armed forces.” The game was announced shortly after the government of India banned 118 Chinese mobile apps including PUBG Mobile over privacy concerns in September last year. PUBG Mobile is still not available ‘officially’ in India despite PUBG Corp’s many attempts at pacifying the concerns. Many have billed FAU-G as India’s answer to PUBG Mobile though according to a few reports, it is possible the game might not even have a battle royale mode at launch.
