The description of the game now suggests that the whole gameplay will center around Indian soldiers “high up on the peaks of India’s northern border”.

FAU-G vs PUBG?
FAU-G also aims to tap into the sentiment of “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India), a phrase popularized by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. nCore Games said that 20 percent of the net revenue generated from the game will be donated to Bharat Ke Veer, a trust set up by the government for the families of soldiers who are killed in the line of duty.
PUBG Mobile owned by China’s Tencent Games, which is why the Indian government blocked it citing the China linkage. However, PUBG Corporation, a South Korean company developed PUBG and owns the title. They stepped in and took control of PUBG title from Tencent Games for India.
However, the latter game is well-known and very much awaited to come back to India. This makes FAU-G get ready for stiff competition.
