KRAFTON India has closed an exceptional awards weekend, emerging as one of the most awarded brands at both the Abby Awards 2026 (Goafest) and the Kyoorius Creative Awards 2026, a rare double recognition that places BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA among India’s most decorated brands of the year. What makes the run distinctive is that iconic BGMI campaigns were celebrated across both India’s biggest creative festivals, a rare double endorsement of a brand’s annual creative output:
The Great In-Game Wedding
Everyone Loves a Good Fight
BGMI Career Mode
BGMI South Regional Films
At the Abby Awards 2026
KRAFTON India was named the second most awarded brand of the year, taking home 3 Gold, 19 Silver and 8 Bronze metals, alongside 4 Merits, a total of 34 wins. The Gold for The Great In-Game Wedding in Brand Experience & Activation Services was a centrepiece of the night.
At the Kyoorius Creative Awards 2026
KRAFTON India was recognised as one of the most awarded brands of the night, winning 1 Grey Elephant and 15 Blue Elephants:
The Great In-Game Wedding — 7 Blue Elephants + 1 Grey Elephant
Everyone Loves a Good Fight — 5 Blue Elephants
BGMI Career Mode — 1 Blue Elephant
BGMI South Regional Films — 2 Blue Elephants
A creative range rarely seen on a single brand
What sets this run apart is the spectrum of work recognised, spanning long-form films, regional-language storytelling for South India, AI-led digital innovation, in-game experiential activations, and offline event craft. Few Indian brands in 2026 have been honoured for such a wide creative range in a single awards cycle.
Powered by both agency and in-house work
Equally notable is the mix of agency-led and in-house work that powered the haul. While the bulk of the winning campaigns were crafted with KRAFTON India’s external agency partners, the recognition of BGMI Career Mode, an AI-powered psychometric experience built end-to-end by KRAFTON India’s in-house creative and product teams, places the brand in a small group of Indian companies winning at the country’s most respected creative festivals on the strength of its own internal creative capability.
A multi-agency creative ecosystem
The wins are the result of a multi-agency creative ecosystem built around BGMI, including:
22Feet Tribal Worldwide
Enormous Brands
Leo India
KRAFTON India in-house team
BGMI has now won at five consecutive global and national creative festivals in the last 12 months, including ADFEST 2026, Cannes Lions 2025, Spikes Asia 2025, One Show Asia 2025, and now the Abby and Kyoorius Awards 2026.
