The esports feature will allow users to host friendly tournaments while also facilitating seamless operations for organisers to host professional tournaments. Users will be able to spectate from various camera angles and shoutcast the matches.
WCC3 has featured in some prominent esports tournaments in the country including Redbull M.E.O., Skyesports and LXG WCC tournaments. Being one of the only ‘Made in India’ games to feature in esports tournaments in the country, WCC is looking to make it easier for players and tournament organisers to conduct tournaments on the game with this latest update.
The WCC franchise now stands at more than 155 million downloads. The large fan base of WCC 3 will now have a chance to get a taste of competitive esports experience.
The latest update also includes custom difficulty settings, ability to assign bowling actions alongside 7 new bowling actions, new cutscenes, challenge a friend mode, ability to capture highlights and more.
Says Next Wave Multimedia co-founder and CEO P.R.

With the newest update we want to add value to the esports ecosystem with WCC3.”
The custom difficulty setting is aimed at giving players more choices to play around with. The higher the difficulty, the more chances of getting kits and higher league scores. Apart from that, the new bowling actions along with the ability to assign them is aimed at bringing more versatility to the game. With new cut scenes and full camera control to capture highlights, WCC3 will give a further immersive experience.
The World Cricket Championship series has been created by Chennai based Next Wave Multimedia Pvt.

Season 2 of the Series in Development for 2026
Esports World Cup: Level Up, the five-part docuseries from Emmy-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, Elton John: Never Too Late, Martha), is now streaming for free on Prime Video’s official YouTube channel.
The Level Up series, produced by This Machine (part of Sony Pictures Television) in partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF), offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the world’s largest esports and gaming festival, redefining what it means to be a champion in the digital age. A second season is now confirmed, continuing the story of the EWC and the next generation of Clubs and players shaping the future of global esports.
In the first season, Level Up captures human stories of the competition. From Oakland’s Soka of Team Falcons, a swaggering extrovert who defies gamer stereotypes while carrying the weight of a tough past, to FAKER of T1, a South Korean icon battling the loneliness of his own legend, each player’s journey reveals the person behind the avatar.
In the Philippines, 19-year-old Sanford of Team Liquid fights for his family after tragedy strikes, while Drazah of Atlanta FaZe traces his rise from a small shed in Alaska to the global stage. Indonesian sisters Chel and Cinny of Team Vitality lead a dominant women’s team even as personal loss tests their resolve.
Beyond the players, Yevhen Zolotarov of NAVI competes to support a war-torn Ukraine, and Mossad Aldossary, the 24-year-old CEO of Team Falcons, shoulders the hopes of a nation as he strives to keep the championship at home in Riyadh.
Together, their stories reveal what truly drives esports’ greatest figures, not just victory, but purpose, pride, and resilience.
Stay tuned for more information about Season 2 of Esports World Cup: Level Up.
