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 setting with some interesting characters inspired by stories of India.
Set in a truly Indian plot, the locations, the gangs and 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.

Scheduled to be launched later this year, the game’s pre-registration window will open from May 22.
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 storylines for gamers. UGW’s unique locations and the highly relatable universe with great graphics are sure to provide a great experience for Battle Royale players.
