Shivaji Park will appear as a fully playable ground in LightFury Games’ new title, eCricket. The ground is known as the “Cradle of Indian Cricket” and has produced great players like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. Now, fans will be able to play at this famous venue in a realistic digital version.

The game is being made with Unreal Engine 5 to give better graphics and a real match feel. The makers are recreating special parts of Shivaji Park, such as the stone benches (katta), the Samarth Vyayam Mandir, and the dusty ground, to make it look real.

As per a report by Insidesport, the game is likely to release in 2026. It will have more than 600 licensed international players and aims to give fans a very real cricket gaming experience.
