Gaming giant Krafton sets its sights on India, hoping to publish a game made by Indian Talent. The move comes as BGMI, the Indian adaptation of PUBG Mobile, continues to dominate the mobile gaming scene. With over 100 million downloads and counting, BGMI has become a cultural phenomenon. Krafton recognizes the immense potential that lies within the Indian gaming community. Check out the future plans of Krafton, below.
With game made in India, Krafton aims to tap into this vibrant ecosystem and foster the growth of local talent. This aligns with the Indian government’s “Make in India” initiative. It also allows Krafton to create games that resonate deeply with the Indian audience.
Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO, KRAFTON India, shared some plans for 2024. “In 2023, India witnessed an unprecedented surge in the growth of gaming and Esports, marking a monumental year for the industry.
