Built using Unreal Engine 5, the game employs artificial intelligence and stunning graphics to reinvent cricket as a sport.
A New Gaming Experience
E-Cricket is set to foster a dynamic gaming community, incorporating features like multiplayer modes, interactive gameplay, and live tournaments aimed at pushing the boundaries of traditional esports. The studio anticipates a global launch in early 2026, further broadening the horizons for the gaming community in India.
Chris Lee, Head of Immersive Technologies at AWS, expressed excitement about the collaboration: "AWS is proud to support LightFury Games as they showcase their groundbreaking work on this new title at GDC. Amazon GameLift Streams empower studios like LightFury Games to deliver exceptional experiences without hardware limitations."
