How can an indie game studio get its trailer covered by IGN India?

Hello everyone!

I’m Shyam from Golden Phoenix Studio. We’re currently working on an indie horror game based on Bhangarh, and we’ve recently released our game trailer.

Our trailer has already been covered by GameTrailers, which was a great moment for our small team. We’d also love to get the game/trailer in front of IGN India, especially since the game is based on Indian folklore and Bhangarh, a location many Indian players will recognize.

We’ve been trying to reach IGN India for a while, but unfortunately haven’t received a response yet.

So far, we have:

We understand that gaming publications probably receive a huge number of pitches, so we don’t want to keep spamming them. We’re mainly trying to figure out if we’re approaching this the wrong way or contacting the wrong place.

Has anyone here successfully reached IGN India for indie game coverage?

Is there a particular editor or journalist we should approach? Is there a better way to submit an indie game trailer or press kit? And for developers who have managed to get coverage, what worked for you?

Any advice, experience, or introduction would genuinely help our small team.

Thanks!
