Here’s what Heena Sidhu had to say on her character being introduced to Indus Battle Royale:

“I 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. It’s something I noticed as an athlete and an avid gamer, which made collaborating with SuperGaming all the more easier.

Indus’ Heena has the right aspects of my attitude and personality. “I hope you’ll enjoy playing as her as much as I had fun working with SuperGaming to bring her into the game.”

Roby John, co-founder and CEO of SuperGaming, comments on Heena Sidhu’s character in Indus Battle Royale:

“At SuperGaming, we take the term ‘putting India on the global gaming map’ seriously. “Heena’s track record of excellence speaks for itself with putting India on the global map for shooting, this made collaborating with her the obvious choice.”
