At AAA Games, we’re excited to spotlight one of India’s most promising and culturally rooted game studios — 5th Ocean Studios. The studio has made waves in the gaming community with a dual promise: immersive mythological storytelling and desi-flavored, multiplayer fun.
While they continue to work on the much-anticipated ILAVATH: Battle Arenas, they’ve now launched a bold and brilliant new title into open beta: Gully Gangs: Street Cricket — a fast-paced, 4v4 real-time multiplayer cricket game that captures the real soul of Indian gully cricket.
🧬 About the Studio – 5th Ocean Studios
5th Ocean Studios isn’t just another game developer — they’re cultural architects in gaming. Their vision is to merge deep Indian lore with accessible, globally appealing gameplay. Their flagship IP, ILAVATH: Battle Arenas, is a team-based strategy game that draws inspiration from ancient Indian mythology.
Set in a cosmic battlefield created by the Tri-Gods — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, the lore of ILAVATH is rich with characters from races like Devas, Asuras, Yakshas, Vanaras, Rakshasas, Nagas, and Manavas — all fighting not just for power, but for Moksha (liberation from the cycle of desire and rebirth). It’s a breathtaking mix of high-concept fantasy and Indian cosmology, built for global strategy lovers.
⚾ From Mythology to the Streets – GULLY GANGS: STREET CRICKET
Switching gears, the studio brings something entirely different but equally authentic to Indian audiences — Gully Gangs. It’s not just a game; it’s a nostalgic experience. If you’ve ever broken a neighbor’s window with a six or argued about whether it was a catch-out or a bounce, this game is for you.
