New Delhi, Nov 12 : Homegrown Indus Battle Royale game on Sunday revealed a new hero or avatar called "Pokhran" which will be playable when the game is out (closed beta date to be announced soon).

His sole mission: To safeguard Indus & Protect the Power!". Indus Battle Royale game had crossed seven million in pre-registration for its first-ever esports tournament that was held last month.
