What is FAU-G?

FAU-G stands for Fearless and United Guards - it is going to be a multiplayer action game with the goal to "educate" the youth of India about the army of the country and promote its values. According to Akshay Kumar, 20% of the total revenue is going to be given to the Indian Army.

This is not the first time a video game was made to promote the Indian armed forces. Prior to this, there has been one other game named Indian Air Force: A Cut Above made by the airforce for Android and iOS.

About FAU-G's release

According to the announcement, the game is scheduled for release next month. Looks like the game was worked on for quite a long time prior to this, with PUBG Mobile's ban being a convenient time for a reveal. With the theme of the game being India going against China's aggression, maybe it is time to drop China-made PUBG Mobile for real.

The official teaser of FAU-G was posted on Akshay Kumar's Twitter on 'Dusshera' the Indian Festival signifying the victory of good over evil. It features a faceoff between India and China in Galwan Valley and showcases a fearless and bold image of the Indian Armed Forces.
