Amidst the rising disappointment of the BGMI ban and the lack of a clear answer for a return date, SuperGaming, located in Pune, has now opened pre-registration for their game Indus Battle Royale on Google Play. The made-in-India game is intended to compete with other battle royale-style smartphone games like Call of Duty, Apex Legends, PUBG Mobile, and BGMI. On January 26, Republic Day, the creators also posted the game’s initial gameplay on YouTube. At first glance, Indus’ virtual world appears to have taken design cues from Apex Legends’ setting. This can be seen from the soaring cliffs and deep canyons. Here are all the details you need to know about Indus.
Indus game details
On the ancient planet Indus, players will be thrown off on the “mysterious island of Virlok.” This has been given on the game’s official Google Play page. The main objectives for players will be survival and locating the “coveted element Cosmium.” Players will probably need to flee within a set amount of time. They will also need to collect survival tools like guns, gear, and consumables, much as in previous battle royale-style games like Battegrounds Mobile India or PUBG Mobile.
The trailer also displays characters that gamers may choose, but they strikingly resemble Apex Legends characters. Adam seems to be the primary character. Another character, Sir-Taj was also shown in the trailer. Users have the option of selecting Big-Gaj and Adya, two more humanoid characters.
The Indus Battle Royale’s official launch information has not yet been released by SuperGaming. Although users will have the opportunity to buy “random items” in-game, the app will be available for free download.
The fact that titles like PUBG, Garena Free Fire, and BGMI are still banned in India may work in its favour. Both Call of Duty and Apex Legends are available for download, but both action games are resource-intensive and need a smartphone with sufficient processing power to perform at their top settings.
Statement by developers
Indus’ developers, SuperGaming, stated in an interview with Moneycontrol in December that their future game is “heavily inspired by Indian culture and mythology.” The Pune-based startup has previously produced many fun games including an action game called MaskGun. The majority of the games got positive reviews. There have been over 10 million downloads of MaskGun from Google Play.
Roby John, a co-founder of SuperGaming stated that “Indus is a highly technical project. I will say making a MaskGun or a Silly Royale has been the education that is needed to build an Indus.” According to reports, Indus will eventually be made available for PCs and gaming consoles. The game looks promising from the information we have so far. Once it is officially released, we will have a better idea about the game.
