As smartphones became more affordable and internet reliability grew, India saw an increase in online gaming, with titles like PUBG and Free Fire gaining popularity for their battle royale approach. Over the past few years, many titles have emerged on the mobile platform, and while some of them have been customized for the Indian market, most of them are developed outside of India, and Indus is aiming to disrupt this environment with its first battle royale title – Indus Battle Royale.
Indus is a made-in-India-for-the-world battle royale developed for mobiles, consoles, and PCs. The title is developed by Pune-based Indian game development studio, SuperGaming. It appears SuperGaming is finally ready to open the floodgates to a bigger audience following multiple community playtests and an official trailer unveiling in January.
The developer has released a few shots of gameplay on X (formerly known as Twitter) which contains highlights and frags compilation.
