New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS): South Korean video game developer Krafton on Wednesday announced plans to introduce an all-new Indian faction in the real-time player-versus-player (PvP) strategy game, ‘Road To Valor: Empires’.

Announced by Krafton and Dreamotion, the new faction will soon be available in the game. It features characters that draw inspiration from ancient Indian tales and legends, Kraton said in a statement.

Road To Valor: Empires, Krafton's first casual game designed for India, enables gamers to embark on epic quests, commanding mythical troops and legendary guardians to build armies and engage in intense battles.

The South Korean video game developer had launched this game in the country in March of this year.

In May, the company had announced that the Road To Valor: Empires game crossed 3.35 lakh downloads across both Play Store and App Store.
