SuperGaming Reveals Details about Indus’ Map, Anti-Cheat, Battle Pass, and More

1. Indus and Virlok Map

According to the lore, the planet of Indus is a mystery to almost every spacefaring civilisation. The planet comprises a collection of untouched, unexplored, and ever-changing islands. The reason why it is significant to the galaxy is because of the planet’s limitless deposits of a valuable substance called Cosmium.

Furthermore, the game will majorly take place on an ever-changing island map called Virlok. From the sound of it, it appears that the map will also undergo transformation routinely, probably to coincide with new seasons and content drops.
