The Land of the Magnates is an action-adventure RPG set in a magical world inspired by Middle Eastern myths, developed by Permanent Way Games and published by indie.io. Scheduled for release on August 27, 2024, the game follows Malik Shahbaz, the prince of the Land of the Sun, who embarks on a quest to save his father after being wrongfully accused of the king’s poisoning.
Players will experience a richly crafted narrative as they explore diverse environments, such as the cursed Black Forest and the realm of the Water Princess. Utilizing his sitar—an instrument that serves as both a weapon against darkness and a means to restore harmony—Shahbaz must overcome platforming challenges, environmental puzzles, and ancient curses.
The game is brought to life with stunning visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, offering a sensory feast of magical forests, mythical creatures, and complex cultural elements from Arabian, Persian, and Indian folklore. Boasting a thorough installation guide and system requirements, players are encouraged to support the developers by purchasing the game upon release.
