The one-minute teaser video gives a glimpse of the first level of FAU-G based on the Galwan Valley skirmishes between India and China.
The incident at the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh that killed 20 Indian soldiers on the intervening night of June 15 and 16 has been taken as the background of the game. In the second wave of the Chinese app ban in India, the PUBG Mobile app was banned by the government for allegedly violating security guidelines on September 2. However, only the app on the mobile was banned not PUBG which is still available on consoles and PC.
Soon after that, the Indian gaming company nCore announced indigenous multiplayer action game FAU-G to fill the void of PUBG Mobile. Promoted by the ‘Housefull’ actor, 20 per cent of its net proceeds will be donated to ‘Bharat Ke Veer Trust’ which gives homage and support to India’s brave hearts.
nCore, the company developing the game also announced the launch date of FAUG on Twitter and said, “Good always triumphs over evil, the light will always conquer the darkness.May victory bless Fearless And United Guards, our FAU-G. Launching in November 2020!”.
Although, the company is yet to reveal the exact launch date of the game.
The opening scenes of the teaser shows helicopters hovering in the air and soldiers in combat position. The characters in the teaser can be seen using brawler mechanics to fight with enemies. It also echoes the sentiments of the Indian troops who are guarding our borders fearlessly and are united to win.
The game's first-level is set in the Galwan Valley backdrop 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.
Fearless And United: Guards (FAU-G) is based on real scenarios encountered by the Indian Security Forces to deal with both domestic and foreign threats. The game is also seen as an attempt to tap into the anti-China sentiment and patriotism in the country.
