Nazara will publish Dot9 Games’ FAU-G: Domination mobile shooter game

Nazara Publishing, the publishing arm of India’s Nazara Technologies, said it plans to publish Dot9 Games‘ FAU-G: Domination mobile shooter.

Mumbai-based Nazara also revealed the gameplay trailer for the made-in-India mobile shooter FAU-G: Domination at the FAU-G: Domination World Premiere Event held in Mumbai. In addition to this, pre-registrations for the game are live now on Google Play. The iOS pre-registrations will open later.

FAU-G: Domination is Nazara and nCore Games’ answer to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day call to action to the nation, where Modi urged India’s games industry to focus on designing world-class games. He highlighted the country’s talent and potential to become a global leader in gaming.

With this in mind, the trailer entices players to win on FAU-G: Domination’s many maps all while showcasing a variety of weapons. It also highlights multiple locations and firefights to show the scope and size of the experience Dot9 and nCore Games will bring to gamers in India and the world.

Under the mentorship of Shri Akshay Kumar, nCore is dedicating the game to Bharat Ke Veer. Bharat Ke Veer Trust gives homage and support to India’s Bravehearts. To support the families of India’s Armed Forces Martyrs, Nazara will donate Rs. 25,00,000 to Bharat Ke Veer and FAU-G: Domination will also feature specific cosmetic items such as badges, of which 100% of the proceeds will go towards Bharat Ke Veer.

The Bharat Ke Veer Trust is conceptualized by Akshay Kumar and implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs, to support the families of India’s Armed Forces Martyrs.

In order to unlock the potential of made-in-India games such as this, Nazara Publishing has undertaken an extensive marketing campaign to raise awareness among Indian gamers to pre-register FAU-G: Domination.

We can’t wait to share more with you on the road to release through our marketing initiatives.”

“It is a matter of great pride to respond to PM Modi’s call and present a game made-in-India for India — and the world.
