Saudi-Backed Studio MBC Games Taps '1,001 Arabian Nights' for Debut Title

MBC Game Studio, a newly formed developer backed by Saudi Arabian investment, has announced its inaugural project: an adaptation of the classic "One Thousand and One Nights." The studio revealed its debut title during Gamescom's Opening Night Live presentation in Germany.

The choice of "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," signals the studio's intent to leverage well-known and enduring stories for its gaming ventures. This classic collection of Middle Eastern folk tales offers a rich tapestry of characters, settings, and narratives that can be translated into various game genres.
