FAU-G is a new upcoming android based game that is being developed by a company named core, a company situated in Bangalore, which has a partnership with the company named Rovio. FAU-G is an android based game that is being developed in India. Rumors have come that, the game FAU-G will be a remake of PUBG, as far as the information came, FAU-G will not be a remake of PUBG rather it would be a completely different game, which will be completely and original game. However, FAU-G got a huge negative backlash because its announcement was made just after the PUBG ban news came.

UBISOFT's upcoming game Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time Remake, which is the remastered version of Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time, which is the older version. Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time Remake is being developed in the Indian branches of UBISOFT which is situated in Pune and Mumbai. 

The World's most popular companies also have their branches situated in India, and game development is also done in India. Most of the Triple-A titles mostly have an Indian touch or a part in them. Basically, the major developments take place outside India. These games are not directly promoted in India, it's the main reason is, in India, the market of games is very small, because most people don't buy PCs or Consoles in India, and who buys mostly don't purchases the original game because of which the market of PC and console gaming isn't developing like it's developing in the Western Countries. 

The gaming scenario came in India in 2018 after the launch of PUBG Mobile, because it was the launch for mobiles and at that time mobiles were mostly used by everyone, because of which most of the people came into mobile gaming. One day before the PUBG Mobile ban in India the number of active users in the country was 1 Crore plus per day, which is really a huge figure which we didn't achieve in PC and consoles. 

The games which are developed by the Indian developers are mostly made for western audiences. Similarly, the western company's which are situated in India works likely for outsourcing, they take orders like deadlines, story, and theme, etc from the Headquarter companies and then works on it. If any requirement comes from the headquarters like, they want an Indian flavor in the game or any other requirement, then the developers work according to it, like any storyline for India, or any mission will be added to it, as because the Western audience might be bored from the western storyline.

The Indian developers don't make games for the Indian market because most of the people will not pay for the original game, and will likely to get it from some or other third party websites. This is the main reason because of which majority Indian developers make games for the western audience, and this is the reason because of which big western companies don't make games focusing on the Indian audience, because of the fewer sales in the Indian market. This is also the main reason because of which, the Triple-A titled games don't come with Hindi dubbing, other than that, it comes with other languages like, English, Russian, etc.

India can be said as the hub of mobile gaming as since the last few years mobile gaming has gained huge popularity in India. Many Esports tournaments were conducted for mobile games. We can assume that in the future, the market for gaming in India might develop.
