Sony Announces India Hero Project To Support Indigenous Game Developers

What is PlayStation’s India Hero Project

Simply put, the India Hero Project is an incubator program by PlayStation for local game developers in India. It aims to bring promising indie titles for PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, and PC to a global audience and works like their China Hero Project.
For criteria, interested parties have to be an India-based game developer who is a legal entity in India. Furthermore, being able to register with the PlayStation Partners is a must. PlayStation also says that International teams that are registered entities in the country and have a team here can also register.

The Project Could Be The Boost For Indian Game Development!

The incubation project by PlayStation in China has arguably been a success. The China Hero Project seeing some promising launches and rolling into its third phase. It will be interesting to see if the same happens with the India Hero Project.
The gaming landscape has changed in India over the years, with a few successful titles like Raji making their mark internationally. Additionally, upcoming games like Indus, Sonzai, and The Palace On The Hill have shown that the talent is there.
Granted, the country has a Real Money Gaming problem, and cautionary tales like Trine for game development in this country have been a thing. However, the project by PlayStation hopefully helps in ushering the much-needed game development support in this country. After all, the talent is there, it is the other factors that hinder game development here.
