nCore Games, Bengaluru based developer of FAU-G announced on Twitter last week that the pre-registrations in India crossed 1 million in less than 24 hours.

As per the description on Google Play, the game has been based on real-world scenarios and “brings to life the thrill and adrenaline of a life spent guarding India's borders.” The first trailer released in October, also by Akshay Kumar, showed the theme of the game and the company's co-founder Vishal Gondal said that the first level is based on Galwan Valley.

nCore Games originally planned on releasing the game in October but that did not happen. The company then tweeted that FAU-G will be released in November without providing an exact date. It came in response to the ban of 118 Chinese apps in India back in September which included the highly popular PUBG Mobile. Gondal, at the time, said that the game was in development for some months. It plans to reach the 20 crore-users mark within a year.
