KRAFTON Introduces ‘Battlin’ in India

Hyderabad, October 2026: KRAFTON today unveiled Battlin, India's first unified gaming tournament platform that enables discovery, participation, recognition and transparent rewards for competitive play. BGMI-first at launch, Battlin is designed to make competitive gaming more accessible, organised and transparent - so that finding, joining or hosting a tournament is no longer a challenge in itself. BGMI in India has no shortage of competition; what it has lacked is structure around it.

Serious players compete through room IDs shared in group chats, entries collected across third-party apps, and results settled by screenshot. Battlin brings the key stages of a tournament into one place: players can discover and register for open tournaments, compete, and track results, with tournaments running daily. They can join without needing personal connections or an invitation, while reward conditions and disbursement timelines are visible in-app before they register.

For tournament organisers, Battlin simplifies the work of setting up and running competitions. Creation, registration, scheduling, room management, participant notifications, results and reward disbursement are brought together on the platform, with automated brackets, rooms and notifications reducing the administrative load - so hosting a tournament takes an evening, not a week. 

Commenting on the launch, James Yongkwan Kim, Lead – Battlin, KRAFTON, said: "India has a strong base of competitive players and passionate communities, but the path from playing casually to competing seriously is often fragmented. With Battlin, we want to make competitive play more accessible - so a player can discover and join a tournament without depending on contacts or an invitation, and without travelling between cities to find one.

By bringing tournament discovery, participation and transparent rewards together in one place, Battlin gives competitive players greater visibility, wider access to tournaments across India, and a clearer route from grassroots participation to recognition." The platform debuts with Battlin Open Season 1, the first tournament organised on Battlin. Registrations are now open through 1 November 2026 on the platform, with 5000+  slots available; competition begins 2 November across two tracks and culminates in the Track 2 Finale on 29 November 2026, where the first Battlin Open champion will be crowned.
