GRAPHIC INDIA LAUNCHES ‘CHAKRA THE INVINCIBLE’ – AN INDIAN SUPERHERO EXPERIENCE ON ROBLOX’S GLOBAL PLATFORM
Roblox is a platform where people can connect, create, and express themselves through immersive, interactive experiences, ranging from gaming to social hangouts, concerts, sports, fashion shows, education, and entertainment. The first Roblox experience created by Graphic India is the Superpower Simulator: Chakra, which brings one of Stan Lee’s beloved characters, Chakra The Invincible, to Roblox for the first time.
Players can join forces with Chakra and his friends to stop the villains who want to take over the streets of Mumbai. In this exciting superhero game, players can train their characters, unlock new powers, explore Mumbai’s famous landmarks, and meet famous heroes with important quests.
Sharad Devarajan, CEO of Graphic India and Co-Creator of Chakra The Invincible, stated that “Roblox is India’s entertainment platform of the future”. With over 650 million people under the age of 25, India’s youth market is ready to engage and transform the world. The opportunity to leverage Roblox’s immersive platform to create new experiences will usher in a bold new age for Indian creativity, fandom, and storytelling. Chakra The Invincible game is just the beginning, and we are excited to help build the Roblox eco-system in the country.”
Chakra The Invincible was co-created by the legendary Stan Lee and Indian superhero creator Sharad Devarajan through Graphic India and POW! Entertainment. The original graphic novel by Lee and Devarajan was released in 2012 and has led to numerous Chakra stories across comics, animation, and digital shorts, reaching over 100 million views worldwide.
Superpower Simulator: Chakra is the first title being brought to Roblox by Graphic India in partnership with GCraft. It promises a bright future for new games that bring representation and focus on India and more.
