Mayhem Studios, India’s first studio for AAA games has announced its first title “Underworld Gang Wars”(UGW), a Battle Royale game set in India. With the characters and plot rooted in India, the game promises an exciting setting with some interesting characters inspired by stories of India.

Set in a truly Indian plot, the locations, the gangs, the icons represent an Indian context in a AAA game for the first time. The theme, weapons,  and the maps of the game have been designed to offer a unique experience to the gamers. 

The gameplay becomes intense in UGW as the underdog gang from the West wants to take control of the Eastern region from its arch rival urban gang. 

To provide an authentic experience, each region depicted in the game resembles a real location in India, be it the coal mines or the next-door apartment complex. It also has iconic landmarks including a fort, station, stadium and a race-course.

Scheduled to be launched later this year,  the game’s pre-registration window will  open from 22nd May.

Commenting on the announcement, Ojas Vipat, CEO of  Mayhem Studios, said: “We are thrilled to come up with the first Battle Royale Title that promises to offer one of the most relatable storyline for gamers. UGW’s unique locations and highly relatable universe with great graphics are sure to provide a great experience for Battle Royale players. We are also excited to put together a blockbuster game with some unique stories of India for the world.”
