Pune-based developer SuperGaming has dropped the gameplay trailer for its upcoming battle-royale title Indus, proper in time for Republic Day. Pre-registrations at the moment are stay on Android, with signups on iOS and iPadOS to “observe quickly.” The timing could not be extra applicable because the firm wears its “Made-in-India” tag with satisfaction, incorporating a contact of Indian tradition within the recreation by way of normal structure, nomenclature, and the lore surrounding the long-dormant titular planet, whose legends echo throughout the galaxy. The trailer sheds gentle on some gunplay, loot system, and key areas inside the Virlok, the floating island map.
The footage within the Indus trailer relies on a pre-alpha construct, so do not be shocked to see some imperfections and an unpopulated enviornment. In it, you play as a Mythwalker, a employed gun working for the COVEN, an intergalactic syndicate, looking for to extract Cosmium — a uncommon, natural-born mineral that may alter area and time. Jogs my memory of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic Dune, just a little bit. This lore facet ties into the gameplay as properly, the place regardless of being a battle royale, one might even emerge victorious by merely claiming it when the time requires it. The first goal right here is to gather Cosmium, which solely spawns as soon as throughout a play session. Expert gamers can nonetheless go on a searching spree to turn into the final man standing.

One factor to notice from the Indus trailer is that whereas the characters have eccentric artwork design, no particular expertise are placed on show. A SuperGaming spokesperson urged that Indus is not a class-based hero shooter like Overwatch or Valorant, promising some modifications sooner or later. “–gamers will certainly get to see our personal fascinating tackle augmenting gamers with some particular talents on the plains of Virlok, someday after the launch,” they said. That mentioned, I can see characters like Sir-Taj being a favorite decide, due to his slender hitbox and fascinating character design — the character actually has the Taj Mahal’s dome for a head. For many who aren’t well-versed in Hindi, “sir” interprets to go — a intelligent wordplay for the title. Then there’s Huge Gaj, which because the title suggests, is normal after an elephant, sporting an imposing presence on-field.
As seen within the trailer, Indus will allow you to play in each first and third-person views at launch, with the latter switching to an FPS mode briefly when aiming down sights. Gamers can count on a wall closing in on them akin to most battle royale video games, and skill-based matchmaking and a rating system are a part of later growth plans. And naturally, bots/ AI enemies can be added in case Indus fails to populate servers in time. In the course of the launch interval, Indus will solely provide solo queues, with team-based choices to come back later.
Indus can be free-to-play from launch day and have in-game monetisation strategies much like different titles within the class, the place one might buy cosmetics and different in-game gadgets from the shop. Development mechanics corresponding to a battle move system hasn’t been confirmed but.
Indus runs on Unity as the bottom engine with an in-house “sandbox shooter tech stack” referred to as the Indus Engine. The obtain measurement is estimated at round 500MB, although this would possibly balloon as extra content material will get added. As for the required specs, SuperGaming claims the sport will run superb on cell gadgets with 4GB of RAM or extra, and so long as your Android model is 6.0 and above.
Pre-registration for Indus is now stay on the Google Play Store. PC and console variations are anticipated sooner or later.
