Mobile gamers in India have had a rough time in recent years with the government banning the two most popular games – PUBG & BGMI, due to their China connection. At this point, even if BGMI returns to India, there are no guarantees that it won’t be banned again.

Considering that there aren’t any other games on the market that scratch the battle royale itch quite as well as PUBG or BGMI, it leaves gamers in quite a pickle as they jump through many hoops just to be able to circumvent these bans.

However, the launch of a new battle royale game is on the horizon, and best of all, it’s made in India, which means no government bans! The game is called Indus Battle Royale, and it has been in development for quite a while. Back in August 2022, it was teased at Times Square, and now, pre-registration for the game has begun for Android devices. It will soon be available for registration on iOS too.

SuperGaming, the company behind Indus Battle Royale, has also released a gameplay trailer giving us an idea of what to expect from the game. However, the footage is from a pre-alpha build, so the imperfections will likely be improved upon.

The game’s premise states that you take on the role of a Mythwalker, a mercenary working for the intergalactic syndicate COVEN, which is trying to obtain Cosmium (a rare resource in this universe). The setting is based on a vision of Indo-futurism, an advanced Indus valley civilization set in the far future.

Gameplay-wise, the character designs and weapon designs look inspired by Apex Legends. The gunplay looks clean, and the maps are neat, with no distracting aspects. What’s interesting is that Supergaming chose to hide the HUD in the gameplay trailer, so we have no idea if the game will also feature passive, active, and ultimate abilities like Apex legends.
