Indian mobile game publisher, Nazara Games, today announced their partnership with Cornerstone Sport and India’s iconic batsman Rohit Sharma to launch his first ever cricket game, called Rohit Cricket Championship.
Nazara has an exclusive mobile gaming deal with Cornerstone Sport (the agency which has the digital and gaming rights for the Indian cricket star) and according to the deal, Sharma will work exclusively with Nazara Games as part of a multi-year partnership to develop unique digital gaming experiences for his fans, extending his engagement in a new interactive format.
This isn’t the first time that Nazara has joined hands with Cornerstone Sport. Earlier we had observed that Nazara Games and Cornerstone Sport launched Virat Cricket Challenge where Virat Kohli was a playable character in the fast paced arcade cricket game.
With tournaments, mini challenges, leaderboards and achievements, Rohit Cricket Championship is a social cricketing experience with India’s cricket superstar. Its simplistic controls clubbed with exhaustive features like shot variety, running between the wickets, rewind the ball, and in game challenges caters to both hardcore fans of cricket and casual users.
Nazara Games, CEO, Manish Agarwal says, “We at Nazara are really thrilled to announce our exclusive mobile gaming partnership with the“Hit Man” of Indian cricket and are confident that the game Rohit Cricket Championship would give millions of his fans joy of enacting Rohit’s real world flair of hitting the shots outside the boundary line.”
The notable part about the game is that it has been curated to emulate Rohit Sharma notch his big scores by enabling players to play those big shots and watch the ball sail raight out of the cricket ground. So, if you are a fan of Rohit Sharma, you might as well give it a try.
“It is really exciting to have the first ever cricket game on me coming out in the market. I look forward to the game and encourage all cricket fans to download and play the game” adds Rohit Sharma.
Nazara continues to explore the cricket gaming genre on the mobile platform as in June we learnt that Nazara tied up with Stick Sports and will be coming out with a new cricket based game, featuring Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Cricket Championship is the first game of the Rohit Sharma series and is available for download over the Google Play Store.
