CogniAI Studios

Our Vision

At CogniAI Studios, a passionate startup based in Bangalore, India, we are on a mission to redefine the future of cricket gaming and position it among the world’s top esports. We are driven by the vision to create a platform where skill, strategy, and human collaboration converge to deliver the most realistic and immersive cricket experience ever developed. Our goal is not only to revolutionize cricket games — but to build a global movement that puts cricket side by side with the giants of competitive digital sports. We are developing the world’s first full-scale 11 vs 11 online multiplayer cricket game, where each of the 22 players on the field is a real human, controlling their own individual cricketer in real time. Every element of the match — from bowling with pinpoint accuracy, to fielding with precision, to batting with awareness and judgment — is designed to simulate the heartbeat of real cricket. Batsmen must coordinate runs together, as both online players must agree to run or stay, adding a layer of real-time trust and teamwork. Fielders will receive visual cues showing where to position themselves — if they don’t react in time and reach the mark, the ball will pass them. These tiny details make this more than a game — they make it digital cricket realism at its peak. Our commitment to graphical realism is just as serious — we’re moving far beyond cartoon-style gameplay. Inspired by titles like GTA and AAA-level sports games, our visuals are lifelike, atmospheric, and deeply engaging. This isn’t just a game that looks good — it feels like you're in a live stadium, soaked in pressure, strategy, and glory. This project is a spiritual spin-off of EA Sports Cricket 2007, honoring its legacy while propelling its gameplay into the modern era. We’re retaining what fans loved — intuitive controls, immersive play — but we're elevating it with new-gen technology, photorealistic graphics, and full multiplayer interactivity. But our dreams don’t end there. At CogniAI Studios, we aim to surpass even titans like EA Sports’ FIFA Football Club and build a world-class cricket esports platform. We envision global tournaments, clubs, rankings, and professional teams — all built around this game. We’re giving cricket the digital stage it has always deserved and inspiring the next generation of gamers to choose cricket not just as a sport, but as a career path in the esports world. We call it- Knockout Cricket™

Knockout Cricket™ In-game Features

11 vs 11 Multiplayer

Our revolutionary 11 vs 11 multiplayer mode brings real cricket to life by allowing 22 real players to play together in a single match — each one controlling a specific cricketer on the field. Players are assigned roles (batsman, bowler, wicketkeeper, or fielder) and can communicate with their teammates through in-game voice chat for real-time coordination and strategy. The captains on each side have special controls — they can set and adjust fielding positions, choose bowlers, and lead the team with tactical decisions, just like in real matches. Batsmen must cooperate and both confirm a run before it’s executed, emphasizing trust and timing. Fielders will receive live cues to position themselves for catches or stops — failing to act quickly means missed opportunities. This mode turns every player into an active, thinking part of the game — just like being on a real cricket team.

Graphics and Visuals

Our game features high-end realistic graphics inspired by modern AAA titles, far beyond traditional cricket games. Stadiums are fully detailed with dynamic lighting, weather effects, crowd reactions, and pitch wear over time. Player models are lifelike, with realistic facial expressions, motion-captured animations, and fluid movements. Camera angles follow the action just like a live broadcast, giving an immersive, cinematic feel. This isn’t animated cricket — it’s true-to-life visual realism that makes you feel like you're inside the stadium.

Commentary & AI Assistance

To enhance immersion, our game features live-match style commentary with dynamic voiceovers that react to real-time events — from thrilling boundaries to game-changing wickets. Each moment is captured with excitement, just like a televised match. In the game lobby, players are supported by an intelligent AI chatbot assistant that helps with match setup, team coordination, player roles, and answering common questions. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, the AI ensures a smooth and guided experience — making setup, learning, and play more accessible than ever.

In-Game Purchases & Ranked Gameplay

Our game offers a range of in-game purchases to personalize your experience — including exclusive bat skins, jersey styles, gloves, and celebration animations. Players can also unlock detailed player stat upgrades to track performance over time. For competitive players, we feature a full ranked game mode with tier-based progression (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and beyond). Win matches, improve stats, and climb the global leaderboard. Tiers unlock rewards, bragging rights, and a path to the top of the professional esports circuit. Every match counts — play smart, rise high.

Tournaments & Cash Rewards

Our game features official online tournaments where 6 top teams qualify to compete in a knockout format. The tournament culminates in a high-stakes grand final, and the winning team receives a cash prize of ₹11,000, with ₹1,000 awarded to each player on the victorious side. The runner-up team will also be rewarded with ₹1,100, divided equally — ₹100 for each of the 11 players. These tournaments are designed to reward teamwork, dedication, and competitive spirit — giving every player a real chance to earn, compete, and rise through the cricket esports arena.

Game Conduct

In Quick Match (Ranked Format), teams are automatically formed by the game’s matchmaking system, pairing you with 10 other online players to create a balanced and competitive team. Each player can only customize one cricketer—their personal avatar—who represents them on the field. The rest of the team is composed of real players with their own unique characters. If you want to form a full team manually, you must create a room and invite 11 existing online players to join. Only when all players have joined can the match begin, making teamwork and coordination essential in this high-stakes ranked mode.
