Istanbul-based indie developer Shadowfall Studios has announced its partnership with PlayStation, marking a significant milestone for the studio. This collaboration positions Shadowfall Studios among the elite group of developers supported by PlayStation’s Partner Program.
Their debut project, codenamed “Project Daeron,” has garnered attention for its ambitious scope and potential to deliver a rich, immersive gaming experience reminiscent of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
PlayStation has been proactive in establishing partnerships with promising game developers in emerging markets. The company’s “Hero Projects” initiative, which has been successful in regions such as China, India, and Africa, aims to discover and nurture game development talent by providing resources and support.
This program has already facilitated the creation of notable titles like “Lost Soul Aside.” The PlayStation Partner Program extends similar benefits, including access to PS5 development kits, self-publishing capabilities on the PlayStation Store, and extensive marketing support.
