PlayStation VR isn’t the only gaming-related first for India at IGX 2016 or
the Indian Games Expo as it’s called. For those of you who managed to
sit through Ubisoft’s inordinately long E3 2016 presentation, you probably

A sizeable portion of the game’s single-player campaign was shown off
on stage, dispellingmurmurs of the title being multiplayer only. This was
followed by an alpha that was open for public registration for a host of
regions barring India for reasons related to bandwidth constraints.
Nonetheless, Ubisoft will be showing off the game’s single-player mode
at IGX 2016 - a first for the country in the longest time. To put it in perspective,
the last time an unreleased game had a public showcase was PS3-exclusive
Killzone 2 at the 2008 PlayStation Experience which took place in Mumbai,
Delhi, and Bengaluru.

And if Viking on knight on samurai action isn’t of interest to you,
there will be tournaments for Pro Evolution Soccer 2017,
WWE 2K17, and Mortal Kombat XL at IGX 2016 with a
combined Rs. 200,000 prize pool. Not too shabby for games
that aren’t Counter-Strike,Dota 2, or League of Legends.
