Great stories come from anywhere.
We craft cinematic action-adventures from the worlds our culture already remembers, built for a global stage.
Son of Thanjai.
11th-century South India, reimagined. Wield the Surul Vaal in fluid, skill-based combat, with every strike captured through full performance motion capture in our in-house Ayelet Labs.
South Indian history, language, and rhythm run through everything we make. Our roots aren't a constraint but rather our source material.

The Gameplay Trailer Is Out Now
Nine months after the Future Games Show teaser, the first real gameplay trailer for Son of Thanjai is here. Meet Vinnendhira Chola, the Surul Vaal combat system, and the living world of 11th-century Thanjai.
Our Story Found Its Writer
Acclaimed writer Madhan Karky joins Son of Thanjai as narrative writer, crafting the game's story, dialogue, and world in both Tamil and English: a defining moment for Indian gaming.
Culture Isn't a Gimmick
After crossing 2M+ views on the announcement teaser, we respond to the extremes (those who dismiss the game's culture and those who support it blindly) and explain why culture in Son of Thanjai is game design, not decoration.
A great story can come from anywhere. Ours happens to come from Thanjai.
