KRAFTON India expands gaming incubator eligibility for Cohort 4
KRAFTON India has launched recruitment for the fourth cohort of its KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI). Originally established in 2023 to support early-stage game development, the program is expanding its scope for this iteration.
For the first time, KIGI Cohort 4 will accept applications from studios with more advanced projects. This includes mobile titles currently in beta testing or soft launch phases, as well as PC projects that have released playable demos on Steam. The program continues to support early-stage concepts and first-time developers.
Selected participants receive business funding, mentorship from industry experts, and access to global platforms. Previous successes from the incubator include the Mumbai-based studio Singular Scheme, which released the action tower defense game Frontier Paladin on Steam in April 2026.
