Krafton has acquired a controlling stake in Pune-based Nautilus Mobile, the studio behind the popular Real Cricket franchise, in a deal worth Rs 118 crore.

This marks Krafton’s first control deal in India, signalling its focus on local game development here.

Founded in 2013, Nautilus Mobile was acquired by JetSynthesys in 2020. Subsequently, Krafton made a Rs 40.5 crore investment in 2022. The latest acquisition gives Krafton a larger stake in India’s gaming landscape, integrating Nautilus Mobile’s expertise with its global resources and technology.

Following the acquisition, JetSynthesys will remain a significant minority investor and will continue working with Nautilus Mobile, particularly in Esports. The move aligns with Krafton’s broader strategy to make India a hub for game development, tapping into the country’s deep passion for cricket and its expanding digital gaming market.

With Krafton’s backing, Nautilus Mobile is expected to scale up its Real Cricket franchise for a global audience.
