The government finally confirmed the ongoing speculations by banning it. The notice was released late Wednesday this week.
Now, Bengaluru-based nCore games will release FAU-G (Fearless And United-Guards) which seems to be an alternative for PUBG.

Interestingly, FAU-G will donate 20% of its revenue to the Indian government’s fund-raising initiative for the soldiers ‘Bharat Ke Veer’.
The release date of the new Indian alternative for PUBG hasn’t been declared yet. But as it has been officially announced by Akshay Kumar and Indian game industry veteran Vishal Gondal, it seems the game won’t take long to be released for the Indian gamers, most probably by this month.
This game is touted to be a contribution towards the “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) campaign by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Indian government banned Chinese made games, PUBG and PUBG Lite on Wednesday and within a couple of days, they have announced an alternative game made by an Indian company. This is certainly a statement to China.
