Two days after India banned 118 mobile applications including the popular mobile game PUBG, Bengaluru-based nCore Games has announced that it will soon be launching a new multiplayer mid-core gaming title called ‘Fearless and United: Guards (FAU:G)’.
According to nCore, the game is based on real scenarios of domestic and foreign threats encountered by the Indian Security Forces. In teams of five, players will be able to collaborate and fight.
The game is expected to launch at the end of October with its first level set in the backdrop of Galwan Valley, followed by third person shooting gameplay in the subsequent releases. The game will be available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar too tweeted about the launch of the game and said that 20% of the net revenue generated by the game will be donated to Bharat Ke Veer foundation.
