Before democracy, the world was ruled by kings and empires, like the British, Romans, Guptas, and Mughals. Among them existed an empire, which many consider didn’t get its due for all that it achieved — the Cholas. With their capital in Thanjavur (Tanjore), the empire ruled the land and seas around southern India for almost four centuries, with their trade links extending upto South-East Asia. Now, PlayStation, along with game developers Ayelet Studios, has decided to tell this dynasty’s story through a new videogame.
The trailer opens with the king sitting on top of an elephant and being led into the castle surrounded by an entire parade. He waves to the crowd and takes in all the love and admiration they have to offer. Celebratory music in Tamil is playing in the background as the king walks into a giant courtyard filled with dancers and musicians, and he greets them with folded hands and closed eyes. He goes into a flashback, where he can be seen killing his enemies indiscriminately, and this section of the trailer gives a first real glimpse into the actual gameplay. The studio and PlayStation itself are bound to release a more detailed gameplay trailer very soon.
Just a month back, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had lauded the Chola Dynasty for all that they achieved during their reign. During the Aadi Thiruvathirai festival, which celebrates the birth anniversary of King Rajendra, the PM announced his plans of erecting statues of Raja Raja Chola and Rajendra Chola and said, “These statues will serve as modern pillars of India’s historical consciousness.” The release date for the game hasn’t been announced yet, but it is already available for players to put in their wish list.
