new Digi Alternative to PUBG It has already been announced, including PUBG, just 48 hours after the Indian government banned 118 Chinese mobile apps. By order, these apps threaten India’s “sovereignty and security”. This new multiplayer action game (wait for it…) is called FAU-G and stands for Fearless and United Guards.
Since the government launched a ban on mobile apps in China, the Indian app ecosystem is quickly at a loss with cobblestone alternatives to take advantage of the potential surge in interest. PUBG Mobile, Games developed by Tencent Count India as China’s largest market. The ban leaves a large void in the mobile gaming space. The launch of FAU-G is nothing but a surgical strike while the iron is hot.
To support an idea Atmanirbhar Bharat, Actor Akshay Kumar brought to Twitter to announce an in-house game. Player becomes a soldier of Forge And according to the tweet, “We will also learn about the sacrifices of our soldiers.” 20% of the profits earned on the game Bharat Ke Beer Fund.
FAU-G is the brainchild of nCore Games, a mobile game publisher invested by veteran tech entrepreneur Vishal Gondal. His previous accomplishments include Indiagames and fitness band/service company GoQii, which was sold to Disney in 2007.

Many shared a hilarious meme about the similarities between the two games:
1. Steals photos from the Internet. 2. Come up with a unique name. 3. Fool people in the name of nationalism. Easy easy.#FAUG pic.twitter.com/erGYpWHxdZ — Cow Mama (@Cow__Momma) September 4, 2020

Many tweets show that this is a stock image. The only change added is the Indian flag to indicate it. #FAUG Indian game. I really hope this happened unknowingly and that the game turned out to be genuine and not copied. Plagiarism is not okay! pic.twitter.com/dhPSrQovVs -Amit Bhawani (@amitbhawani) September 4, 2020

Le all pubg and free fire lover
You have to look at everyone, aside joke, and decide what you want to play. Pubg is now prohibited. The options are FF and COD, but this is why I don’t play FAUG separately, because I have to play for fun. Our game, our country game 🇮🇳🇮🇳#FAUG https://t.co/n66U9g5hOa pic.twitter.com/gWcOqlXLGA— Krrish Dev 22 (@ 22_krrish) September 4, 2020
