- KRAFTON silently soft launches Cricket All Stars on Android in India.
- Features IPL teams KKR and LSG with licensed player likenesses.
- Becomes KRAFTON’s second cricket game after taking over Real Cricket publishing.
KRAFTON has silently soft-launched a brand-new cricket title in India called Cricket All Stars, now available on Android devices. The game arrives without any major announcement, but it is quite an interesting move considering KRAFTON’s growing focus on cricket games and India-specific projects over the last year.
Unlike the more simulation-heavy feel of Real Cricket, Cricket All Stars seems to focus on a faster and cleaner arcade-style experience. The game includes officially licensed IPL teams like Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, complete with player likenesses and jerseys.
Cricket All Stars comes with multiplayer, Test, World Cup, and quick-play cricket modes
The visuals are designed to feel like a live TV broadcast. The stadium lighting, camera angles, fireworks, lasers, and UI presentation all push that big match atmosphere. KRAFTON is also advertising 60 FPS gameplay, and the batting animations do look smooth from early gameplay, which I will drop a first impression later on.
Gameplay-wise, controls are simple, there’s guided batting feedback after deliveries, and modes range from Quick Match and Friendly Match to Test Matches, Indian Pro T20 League, and even a 20-Over World Cup mode. There’s real-time multiplayer too, alongside team-building systems and a Champion Pass progression feature.
If you remember, back in November last year, KRAFTON confirmed during its earnings report that it was actively targeting the cricket gaming market with multiple projects tailored specifically for Indian players.
At the time, the company mentioned two cricket titles in development, alongside plans to launch at least three India-focused games by FY2026. Now, Cricket All Stars looks like the first major visible step in that direction.
With this, the title becomes the second cricket game under KRAFTON’s belt after the Real Cricket franchise. In December, KRAFTON India officially took over publishing responsibilities for Real Cricket following its investment in Nautilus Mobile.
That move already hinted that the company was serious about cricket beyond just Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), and now Cricket All Stars adds to those plans. For now, Cricket All Stars is available only on Android via the Google Play Store in India as a soft launch.
There are currently no details about an iOS version, wider regional rollout, or a global release timeline yet. So, as you stay tuned in this space for updates, read other mobile gaming news and updates:

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
