WCC franchise wins three consecutive awards

World Cricket Championship 3 (WCC 3) won the ‘Studio Game of Year’ award at the Indian Game Developers Conference (IGDC) today. This is a consecutive award for the World Cricket Championship (WCC) franchise in this category, WCC Rivals having bagged the runner-up spot last year.

Earlier this year WCC won the AatmaNirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge conducted by the Government of India and more recently, the third edition of the game bagged the ‘Google Play Best of 2020 award’ in the ‘Users’ Choice’ category, only after a few weeks of its launch.

WCC from Next Wave Multimedia Pvt Ltd. is the leading and longest running mobile cricket gaming franchise from India and now having won three consecutive prestigious accolades recently, P.R. Rajendran, co-founder and CEO, says “It is absolutely thrilling to win another title. The team has put a lot of hard work and innovation behind the game and this award comes as a hattrick for us at WCC. This is a validation of all our effort. We look forward to continuing to provide value to our fans and the industry at large.”

The WCC franchise has crossed 143+ million downloads globally. This ‘Made in India’ game franchise filled the cricket void this pandemic by giving fans a near-actual and immersive cricket experience, resulting in more than 22 million downloads between February and August, 2020. Alongside this, the game also recently witnessed more than 100% growth in-app purchases between February and November 2020.

The latest edition of WCC comes with a host of new features, including a comprehensive career mode set across 3 brackets, 25 series, and 400+ matches with a built-in challenging performance decision system which determines your rise in ranks starting from a local club to the national or international level, alongside the much awaited women’s cricket mode which is a tribute to the changing face of women’s cricket across the globe. To add a dash of extra realism, the game has been infused with simulation of actual cricket, updated gameplay features like brand new controls, fabulous animations, real-time motions of athletes and professional cricketers, bilingual commentary by professional cricketers, Aakash Chopra and Matthew Hayden and much more.

Apart from the aforementioned accolades, the franchise also has multiple others to its name including Google Editor’s Choice (2016-2020). WCC2 has also been listed as Google’s Best of Games in 2015, 2016 & 2017 and Apple’s Best of Games 2016, 2017 & 2018.

Furthermore, the cricket game has also been featured among the Top 10 Games for Monthly Active Users by the App Annie Report for 3 years in a row (2016-2018) and was also listed under Top 10 games by time spent in Android & IOS by App Annie 2016 report.

Elantil integrates 155.io into online marketplace

Just when operators were starting to think the range of content offered by Elantil couldn’t possibly get any more diverse, the pioneering platform solutions provider has pulled off one of the great early rug pulls of 2026 by integrating 155.io into its online marketplace.

Proudly supplying “betting on chaos” since 2024, 155.io is a disruptive live game company that’s already made big waves in the industry due to its incredibly unique line-up. Designed to offer real-time madness for a mobile-first world, 155.io takes creative concepts and broadcasts them from its studio to operators around the world, creating an all-new kind of immersive betting experience.

Games offered by the supplier include Rush Hour, where players bet on how much traffic will cross a zone based on real CCTV footage, Duck Racing, where eight fearless rubber duckies race down a lazy river obstacle course with players betting on the winner, and Marble Plinko, which will definitely be a familiar concept to anyone who took part in Elantil’s Marble Races at ICE this year!

Now that 155.io’s full line-up of quirky live games has been added to Elantil’s Marketplace, operators will be able to reach out to the supplier’s business development and sales partner, RPM Gaming, directly to form their own custom agreements, with Elantil handling everything else.

By doing things this way, customers have full flexibility over the length and terms of their deal, enabling them to hand-pick the best games for their target audience while also cutting out the middleman and saving on costs – both of which are hallmarks of the Elantil approach to business.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “As something of a disruptive presence in the industry ourselves, it goes without saying that Elantil is naturally drawn to fellow innovators in the iGaming space. 155.io certainly fits that description, and by adding their distinctive range of live games to our online marketplace, we’ll be able to offer our partners a totally unique line-up of content that will help them create greater engagement and retention with mobile-first players.”

Sam Jones, Chief Executive Officer at 155.io, said: “155.io and Elantil are both companies that have made names for themselves by doing things differently, so we’re really happy to be sharing our chaotic brand of mobile-first content with a platform provider that genuinely appreciates the importance of going against the status quo. Now that our full line-up of games is integrated into their marketplace, I’m looking forward to seeing what our real-time madness can do for Elantil operators!”
