The popularity of PUBG Mobile is unrivaled in the Indian mobile market, and its suspension has created a void. Since its ban, many Indian developers have come up with their games trying to fill this gap. One of the titles in the fray is SICO: Special Insurgency Counter Operations which is developed and published by Indic Arena.
SICO was announced in early March, with pre-registration and trailers being released in the same month. Finally, the developers have announced the commencement of the beta phase of the highly anticipated title. SICO’s beta is now available for download on the Google Play Store.
