Kratos Gamer Network (KGeN), a global decentralized platform for gamers, has officially launched its regional headquarters in Bahrain, marking a significant step in its expansion into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With over 21 million gamers globally, KGeN aims to capitalize on the rapidly growing gaming market in the region.
The new MENA headquarters will introduce a universal gamer reputation system, allowing gamers to establish their gaming history through the internationally recognized ‘Proof of Gamer’ system and become part of the KGeN network. This initiative is designed to connect regional gaming communities with global game publishers seeking to engage local players.
In addition to facilitating connections, KGeN’s Bahrain headquarters will foster innovation and growth within the region’s evolving gaming and gamification ecosystem. The platform will offer a blockchain-based user identity, reputation, and loyalty framework, helping regional publishers deliver immersive, gamified experiences to consumers.
Manish Agarwal, co-founder of KGeN, expressed excitement about the expansion, noting, “Bahrain’s advanced digital infrastructure and supportive business environment make it the perfect location for KGeN’s regional headquarters. We look forward to contributing to the region’s booming gaming industry with our cutting-edge technology solutions and expertise.”
KGeN’s expansion aligns with its mission to empower consumer enterprises through AI and blockchain-enabled gamification. By leveraging Bahrain’s strong ICT sector, KGeN aims to seize emerging opportunities and collaborate with both local and international consumer-facing companies.
Ali Al Mudaifa, Chief of Business Development at the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), welcomed KGeN’s move, stating, “Their choice of Bahrain underscores our dynamic tech ecosystem and the attractiveness of our infrastructure, helping position Bahrain as a key hub for the MENA gaming market, which is projected to reach $2.8 billion by 2026.”
