NODWIN Gaming has become one of the biggest forces of change in the Indian Gaming scene. They have been working with various organizations, from the government (to draw a line that separates Esports/Gaming from Gambling/Betting) to PUBG Mobile’s developer, Tencent.

This partnership is just the beginning

And now, their latest project includes bringing one of the biggest publishers of video games – Blizzard, to India, officially. This partnership between two companies would unlock the ability to top up your Blizzard Balance with Indian Rupee – you can then spend it on available products from Blizzard. You would now be able to buy digital balance cards through platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Novaplay, and Digistore.

Blizzard's most famous video game franchises

While this is just a digital distribution deal, everything probably would not stop at just that. This partnership deal is likely to be expanded in the future if Blizzard has plans to hold esports events in India. The company is also a part of Activision, Call of Duty’s publisher – Blizzard balance can also be used on various Call of Duty titles on Battle-net as well.
