PlayStation Announces New Middle East North Africa Hero Project

PlayStation has announced a new Hero Project initiative with the Middle East North Africa Hero Project (MENA Hero Project).

It’s the latest initiative coming from Sony where it helps support indie developers in different regions across the globe. The MENA Hero Project now joins the China Hero Project and the India Hero Project.

The blog post announcing the project headlines it as being “vibrant, dynamic and unstoppable,” with the initiative set to support indie games from successful applicants in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.

“Today, we are thrilled to announce the Middle East North Africa Hero Project (MENA Hero Project). The Hero Project incubator programs aim to identify promising local developers and support them in bringing compelling gaming experiences to global gaming communities,” the post reads.

“Through the MENA Hero Project we aim to drive growth and innovation with game developers in the MENA region.

As part of our evolving journey to ensure that PlayStation remains the best place to play, we’re committed to developing regional incubator programs capable of identifying new and diverse developers worldwide. The MENA Hero Project is fueled by this commitment and our belief in the MENA gaming market.”

It’ll be interesting to see what games are born out of this initiative.
