SuperGaming Takes Made-In-India Battle Royale ‘Indus’ To Global Stage With Fortnite Integration

Share via:

Pune-based gaming studio SuperGaming is set to launch the Indian-made battle royale game, Indus, to a global audience through an integration with the popular multiplayer game, Fortnite.

With this integration, players will be able to explore Indus’ gameplay, map, modes, and a plethora of additional features, in Fortnite for PC and macOS.

“This will allow us to test Indus’ gameplay with external audiences faster and give more gamers a chance to experience Indo-Futurism through their game of choice — Fortnite,” Christelle D’cruz, cofounder of SuperGaming, said.

While Indus is gearing up for its mobile debut with a closed beta during the festive season, the Indus experience within Fortnite, especially designed for PC and macOS in Fortnite Creator Mode, will be released on a separate date.

Furthermore, players will have the opportunity to express their opinions on different facets of the game and influence the course of SuperGaming’s development for its upcoming title.

“At SuperGaming we firmly believe that India’s culture and talent demands the biggest possible stage for the world to see and play in. With Fortnite having an estimated 220 Mn monthly players globally, there’s no better way to bring Indus and Indo-Futurism to the world,” said Roby John, cofounder of SuperGaming.

Set up in 2017 by Roby John, Navneet Waraich, Sanket Nadhani, Christelle D’cruz, and Sreejit J, SuperGaming is building mobile games such as MaskGun, Silly Royale, and Tower Conquest. It is also building its own gaming engine called SuperPlatform for running hyperscale, real-time multiplayer games.

SuperGaming, backed by investors including Bandai Namco, Akatsuki Entertainment Technology Fund, Skycatcher, BAce Capital, and Dream Incubator, unveiled Indus in January 2022. The company has plans to release the game on various platforms, including mobile, consoles, and PC.

For Indus, the startup is focussing on creating a futuristic society against the backdrop of Indian civilisation, and art and culture to offer gamers a fresh yet relatable and immersive experience.

Recently, SuperGaming said its battle royale game Indus surpassed the 7 Mn pre-registrations mark.

This comes at a time when the Indian gaming industry reached 568 Mn gamers in FY23, with 25 percent of them being paying users, as per Lumikai’s report. The number of gamers in India increased by 12 percent compared to the previous year, and the number of paying users experienced even stronger growth at 17 percent, the report added. These statistics clearly indicate that the Indian gaming landscape is maturing and evolving beyond the realm of casual games.
