The trailer sheds gentle on some gunplay, loot system, and key areas throughout the Virlok, the floating island map.

One factor to notice from the Indus trailer is that whereas the characters have eccentric artwork design, no particular abilities are placed on show.

For individuals who aren’t well-versed in Hindi, “sir” interprets to go — a intelligent wordplay for the identify.

Indus will likely be free-to-play from launch day and have in-game monetisation strategies just like different titles within the class, the place one might buy cosmetics and different in-game objects from the shop. Development mechanics reminiscent of a battle move system hasn’t been confirmed but.

Indus runs on Unity as the bottom engine with an in-house “sandbox shooter tech stack” referred to as the Indus Engine.
