KRAFTON has announced the second chapter of its KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI), which features 6 rising indie studios poised to make their mark on the global stage.
The fresh lineup, Kleanup, Advaita, Singular Scheme, Smash Head, Unwind, and Ginger Games, will develop diverse, genre-blending games aimed for international release by 2026.
This expansion reflects KRAFTON’s deepening commitment to India’s fast-growing gaming ecosystem. Among the standout projects, Bengaluru-based Smash Head Studio is working on Cricket Rivals, a real-time multiplayer game designed to inject speed and excitement into the classic sport.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad’s Unwind Games–co-founded by Jayant Shukla and Khozema Abuwala–is crafting BaoBao’s journey. It is a puzzle adventure where players help a panda build his dream mountain lodge. The game promises to blend emotional depth with stress-free gameplay.
New Delhi’s Ginger Games is building Monkey Mayhem, a hybrid casual action game featuring a bold monkey named Piklu. The game is set for release in early 2026.
