The Age of Bhaarat: What do we know

 

According to the official announcement, The Age of Bhaarat draws from Indian epics, folklore, and traditions. The game features a player-controlled Forest Warden who defends the fictional land of Anandpur against an invasion of Rakshasa demons. Players will fly through intense battles, use traditional weapons, spiritual powers, and a grappling hook system to navigate and fight in various landscapes such as forests, mountain peaks, and lakes.

 

The narrative is written by Amish Tripathi, author of the Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra series. The storyline includes elements of duty, betrayal, and moral choice, with player decisions expected to influence the outcome of the game’s events.

 

Gameplay features include vertical combat traversal, weapon and skill customisation, and exploration of terrain inspired by Indian mythological settings. Once available, the game can be played solo or in multiplayer mode.
