Mumbai: Shivaji Park is set to be featured as a fully playable ground in LightFury Games’ upcoming title eCricket. Known as the “Cradle of Indian Cricket,” the iconic venue has produced legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. For the first time, cricket fans across Mumbai and beyond will be able to experience the historic ground’s grit and atmosphere in a hyper-realistic digital environment.

The game will be developed using Unreal Engine 5. To make it more realistic and appealing, eCricket will digitally recreate Shivaji Park’s unique features, including the stone benches along the perimeter (katta), the Samarth Vyayam Mandir, and the dust-filled environment.
