Sony's India Hero Project Unveils Lokko for Mobile, PC, PS5

The gaming world is buzzing with excitement over Lokko, a new 3D platformer developed by the India-based studio Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project. This innovative project is set to redefine the landscape of Indian game development, showcasing the country's growing prowess in the global gaming industry.

Lokko is not just another game; it's a testament to the potential of Indian developers. Through Sony's India Hero Project, an incubator designed to nurture and elevate Indian game development, Appy Monkeys have crafted a unique gaming experience. The game challenges players to deliver pizzas on time while battling the monopolistic Goobol food corporation, all within a vibrant 3D world.

One of the standout features of Lokko is its cross-play compatibility across mobile, PC, and PS5 platforms, enhanced by the integration of Dualshock features across all versions. This level of connectivity and control is a significant draw for gamers looking for a seamless experience across different devices.

Lokko-motionLokko combines the best elements of modern gaming successes, offering character customization, level creation, and a charming low-poly aesthetic reminiscent of popular platforms like Roblox. However, Lokko stands out with the backing of PlayStation, positioning it as a strong contender in the gaming market.

While the gameplay may not break new ground, the execution by Appy Monkeys is promising. The anticipation for Lokko is high, and it's not just about this game but also about what the future holds for the India Hero Project and Indian game development as a whole.

Although a specific release date for Lokko has yet to be announced, it's expected to launch sometime this year. In the meantime, fans of indie games can dive into another cross-platform title, the eldritch fishing simulator Dredge by Black Salt Games, which has recently made waves in the gaming community.
