New PlayStation Game to Feature Ancient Chola Dynasty
Imagine a video game about a powerful empire from long ago, the Cholas, who ruled in southern India.
PlayStation is making a game called 'Son of Thanjai' with a studio called Ayelet Studios.
You'll play as King Rajendra Chola, a ruler who expanded his kingdom.
The game lets you experience the life of a king torn between what he must do and what he wants.
They made an announcement trailer, but it is mostly a secret of what is coming, so we get a glimpse into the king's mighty empire.
The king ruled for 30 years.
PlayStation and Ayelet Studios are developing a new video game titled 'Son of Thanjai'.
The game will focus on the Chola dynasty, which ruled southern India for almost four centuries.
The game is from the perspective of King Rajendra Chola.
An announcement trailer has been released, offering a glimpse into the game's scope.
Rajendra I, who ruled for 30 years, is the likely focus of the game, not Rajendra II.
