Over the past year, we had the honor to make contact with talented game creators from all over the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) through PlayStation Mena Hero Project. This initiative was launched with a basic target: identification and support of original voices and strengthening the position of creators from emerging regions to tell their stories through games.
Today we are excited about the announcement of the first cohort of titles supported in the Mena Hero project, each of which is a unique reflection of the creativity and spirit of programmers in the region.
