Made-in-India battle royale Indus will have its fourth playtest with an emphasis on testing and developing features to make the game ready for esports. Developed by Pune-based SuperGaming, Indus is slated for mobile, PC, and consoles with pre-registrations live on Google Play for Android. Pre-registrations for the game have crossed 1.5 million already.
“We’re thankful for the community’s response to Indus with over 1.5 million pre-registrations,” says SuperGaming co-founder and CEO Roby John. “Since our last playtest in Surat, we’ve had a lot of questions regarding competitive play as well as features like spectator mode. With Indus’ core gameplay in place, this is the first time we’ll be showing our early esports features. Now is a good time for us to add necessary options and refine them to make Indus esports ready.”
Like prior playtests, this is an invite-only event so sign up for access and other crucial details like timing via this link: http://bit.ly/indusplaytest4. The community will be able to play the game in Pune with the game’s developers.
