EARLY ACCESS AND THE FUTURE
We're an indie Indian studio with big ambitions. We want to bring Indian content to games and to a global audience in rich, unique ways. Kurukshetra: Ascension is the beginning of that journey. While the game is still in Early Access, we have already released multiple updates with new realms as chapters to the primary Ascension campaign. We have also released two seasonal content updates - Tribes Of Kishkindha and Echoes of the Beast, with more content on the way. We would love your feedback on the current version as we work to make it even better!
