Top 50 Game Developers/Publishers Indian Gamers Should Know About (Part 1)
While playing Destiny 2 on our livestreams recently, I realized that many from our Indian audience had no idea about Bungie, and their legacy. As the conversation went on, I learnt that many gamers in India do not know too much about some of the biggest game developers, and had not even heard of the smaller ones. So we decided to put together a list of game developers and publishers that we feel that most gamers should know about. Starting off, we’ll be looking at some of the biggest names in the gaming industry, and then head on to the smaller studios.

The Uncharted 4’s expansion ‘Uncharted:The Lost Legacy’ has received a statement from Rajan Zed, the President of Universal Society of Hinduism.

I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s something we’re excited about on the gameplay side, this kind of contrast of an urban setting and a rural setting; a tighter ...
