According to reports, Hypernova Interactive struggled to secure the necessary funding for development. The financial demands of creating a complex open-world game proved too much for the studio to bear. This ultimately led to the difficult decision of canceling the project.
The news of Mayanagari’s shutdown comes as a major blow to Indian gamers who were eagerly awaiting its release.
Early gameplay footage showcased impressive visuals, a rich open world, and motion-captured cutscenes, all set in a uniquely Indian environment.
A Missed Opportunity for Indian Gaming
This game had the potential to be a landmark achievement for the Indian gaming industry. It aimed to offer a AAA-quality experience that was both visually stunning and culturally relevant.
The project’s cancellation leaves a void in the Indian gaming landscape. While other Indian-developed games are available, Mayanagari’s open-world ambition and focus on capturing the essence of India set it apart.
The shutdown of Mayanagari serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by Indian game developers.
While talent and creativity are abundant, securing funding and navigating the complexities of game development can prove difficult.
However, the enthusiasm for this game demonstrates the potential for Indian open-world games.
While this dream may be unrealized for now, it paves the way for future developers to take on the challenge and create a groundbreaking Indian gaming experience.
