“For youngsters in India, gaming is becoming an important form of entertainment. With FAU-G, I’m hoping that as they play the game they will learn about the sacrifices of our soldiers and also contribute to the families of the martyrs; and with this each one of us has the ability to support PM Modi’s vision of Atma Nirbhar,” one of the messages, said.
Akshay Kumar said 20 percent of its net proceeds will be donated to Bharat Ke Veer Trust. The trust is a platform to pay homage to India’s brave-hearts.

The game is expected to launch at the end of October with its first-level set in the Galwan Valley backdrop followed by third-person shooting game play in the subsequent releases.
The game will be available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Founder and Chairman of developers of FAU-G, Vishal Gondal, says it is a matter of great pride to respond to PM Modi’s call and present the world a world-class game, which will not only help gamers in a virtual setting fight the forces of evil; but also positively contribute to nation-building by supporting our martyrs,”
