Renowned global game developer SuperGaming has collaborated with Olympic pistol shooter Heena Sidhu to feature her as a character in their forthcoming battle royale game, Indus.
Heena Sidhu, the inaugural Indian pistol shooter to achieve the top spot in the world rankings set by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), holds the distinction of being the first Indian to secure gold at an ISSF World Cup finals event. This exciting partnership brings her exceptional achievements and skills into the virtual realm of Indus.
โI was surprised to see an Indian game studio take so much care and attention to detail, especially in terms of shooting and gun play and how all of it translates into Indus,โ says Heena Sidhu. โItโs something I noticed as an athlete and an avid gamer, which made collaborating with SuperGaming all the more easier.โ
Indus to Feature Heena Sidhu as a Playable Character Along with Mor-Ni
This collaboration has resulted in Heena, a character whose in-game backstory forms a crucial part of Indusโ universe where her actions have made her a living legend. This is not too dissimilar to Heena Sidhuโs real life which had her break stereotypes to not only turn her passion for shooting into a profession but to be the best in the world.

โIndusโ Heena has the right aspects of my attitude and personality,โ says Heena Sidhu. โI hope youโll enjoy playing as her as much as I had fun working with SuperGaming to bring her into the game.โ
โAt SuperGaming, we take the term โputting India on the global gaming mapโ seriously,โ says Roby John, co-founder and CEO of SuperGaming. โHeenaโs track record of excellence speaks for itself with putting India on the global map for shooting, this made collaborating with her the obvious choice.โ
In addition to introducing Heena Sidhu’s in-game avatar, SuperGaming has unveiled Mor-Ni. Previously hinted at in a video, Mor-Ni’s background is intricately woven into the game’s lore, where the character is celebrated as a folk hero among the Yakshaโan intelligent race that once inhabited the world of Indus.
Explore the captivating lore and origins of these characters by watching the video provided here:
โMor-Ni is an expression of Indiaโs rich history with a look into the future,โ says Roby John.
โThe initial thought was trying to answer how Indian culture, such as the well-established,
recognisable symbols like the Indian peacock and Indo-fashion elements would look like from the lens of Indo-Futurism, while being highly inspired from the idea of creating a strong female character that exudes elegance, glamour, pride, and confidence.โ
Upon the launch of Indus, both Heena and Mor-Ni will be available as playable characters. For those eager to dive into the action, pre-registration is currently open on the Google Play Store for Android, with pre-registrations for iOS and iPadOS coming soon on the App Store.
