Nautilus Mobile, a JetSynthesys-owned Indian mobile game production studio and creator of Real Cricket, has received a $5.4 million investment from KRAFTON, Inc., the producers of the massively popular battle royale game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Nautilus Mobile plans to use the KRAFTON financing to expand its reach into new regions around the world and increase its scope to include a variety of sports games in addition to cricket.
The company was founded in 2013 with the goal of creating and publishing high-quality cricket games. JetSynthesys, a new-age digital entertainment, and technology firm with a global foray in gaming and esports, digital entertainment, and interest-based social community platforms, announced the acquisition of Nautilus Mobile 100 percent in October 2020.
