Shooter game FAU-G: Domination surpasses 1 Mn pre-registrations in 3 weeks

India’s homegrown multiplayer action game FAU-G: Domination has surpassed over one million pre-registrations on the Google Play Store for Android in about three weeks. This makes it the fastest game to hit the one million milestone for Nazara Publishing. Pre-registrations for the game went live from September 5 with a gameplay trailer and the FAU-G: Domination World Premiere event, featuring nCore Group and Dot9 Games mentor Akshay Kumar.

Vishal Gondal, Co-Founder of nCore Games, said, “Hitting this milestone so quickly is a powerful testament to the growing demand for high-quality, Made-in-India content."

"Indian gamers are a discerning audience, and their overwhelming support shows that they're hungry for experiences that reflect their culture and identity. This early validation reinforces our belief that India is not just a consumer of global gaming content, but a creator of world-class games that resonate both at home and internationally,” he added.

“While the Dot9 Games team is working tirelessly to make FAU-G: Domination the best it can be, a million pre-registrations is just the incentive we need to make it even better,” said Deepak Ail, Co-Founder and CEO of Dot9 Games, FAU-G: Domination’s developer. “The game is at the stage where we’re fine-tuning and deciding what features players need at launch — with some playtests before that,” he added.

FAU-G: Domination is Nazara and nCore Games’ answer to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day call to action to the nation. He 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.

FAU-G: Domination also had its second playtest recently. This had players accessing the latest build of the game and playing with fellow community members. Player feedback has played a pivotal role in shaping FAU-G: Domination, ensuring that the game evolves in response to the community’s input, the developer asserted.

During these multiple playtests, players had the opportunity to experience the game early and provide detailed feedback on everything from gameplay mechanics to design elements. Their insights have been instrumental in refining key aspects of the game, from improving weapon balance to enhancing map layouts and user interface, as per the developer.
