Indian shooting game Fearless And United Guards, or simply, FAU-G is all set to launch next week on Republic Day, January 26. Developed by nCORE games, FAU-G will put players in the shoes of Indian soldiers in the Ladakh region as they battle against enemy infiltrators. Ahead of the awaited launch, here are 5 facts you need to know about the upcoming game.
FAU-G was first announced as an upcoming game soon after the ban on PUBG Mobile in India back in September 2020. This was followed by speculations that the game would be a Made-in-India replacement for Tencent’s popular Battle Royale title. However, nCore games founder Vishal Gondal had confirmed in an earlier interview with Indian Express that the title has been I development for much longer and it shouldn’t be compared to PUBG Mobile.
The game released its first teaser a few weeks ago, showing gameplay in the Galwan Valley, which is claimed to be just the first episode of the game series. A new anthem for the game was also revealed in the new teaser trailer, which shows Indian soldiers fighting off enemy forces in the valley.

The first teaser of FAU-G showed the soldiers using various close combat skills, while assault rifles were later seen in the new anthem teaser. This points to the fact that close-combat and melee-weapons will be a major aspect of the game. A number of various melee weapons can also be seen in the hands of the players in the first teaser. It remains to be seen if there will be a dedicated mode for this gameplay style.
Pre-registrations for FAU-G went live back in December 2020. Interested players can still go get themselves pre-registered via the game’s Play Store/App Store page. Over a million players registered for FAU-G in the first 24 hours and the game has probably kept many more enthusiasts waiting for a launch since.
