What is Indus?
The upcoming game by SuperGaming will focus on the Indus Valley civilization, a topic that a majority of Indians studied during their history classes but it was not discussed in detail. It continues to be a mystery for many and the developers want to take a closer look at the setting.
The game puts us in a hypothetical perspective where the Indus Valley civilization was not destroyed. Instead, it was so advanced that it moved to a different galaxy and it continued to evolve, which is why the game has been named ‘Indus.’
Indian representation in video games is very rare and we have seen the country being a part of games only in a handful of major titles. Some of the games that have explored India include Hitman 2, Tomb Raider 3 (1998), and Assassin Creed Chronicles: India. The game wants to highlight Indian culture through the inclusion of the country’s history, Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), advanced Indian weaponry, Indian mathematical innovations, Aryabhatta’s machines, and more.
