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

India is emerging as a significant hub for game development, and the upcoming 3D platformer Lokko is a testament to this growth. Developed by the India-based studio Appy Monkeys in collaboration with Sony's India Hero Project, Lokko is set to make waves in the gaming community.

Sony's India Hero Project serves as an incubator for Indian developers, aiming to nurture their next big releases. Appy Monkeys have utilized this opportunity to create Lokko, a game that combines a level editor and an in-depth avatar creator. The game's storyline revolves around delivering pizzas on time while competing against the monopolistic Goobol food corporation, adding a unique twist to the platformer genre.

What sets Lokko apart is its robust cross-platform and cross-play features, enabling seamless gameplay across mobile, PC, and PS5. Additionally, the game supports Dualshock features across all versions, enhancing the gaming experience on various devices.

Lokko incorporates elements that have proven successful in modern gaming, including character customization and level creation. With its low-poly aesthetic, Lokko echoes the style of popular platforms like Roblox, yet it brings the added power of PlayStation, positioning itself as a strong contender in the gaming market.

While Lokko may not be breaking new ground in terms of gameplay mechanics, the efforts of Appy Monkeys are commendable. The anticipation for Lokko is high, and it's exciting to see what other innovations will emerge from the India Hero Project.

Although a specific release date for Lokko has not been announced beyond "sometime this year," gamers can explore another fantastic indie title that has recently gone cross-platform: Dredge, the eldritch fishing simulator from Black Salt Games.
