Sony's India Hero Project unveils Lokko for mobile, PC, PS5

- Lokko marks an exciting new collaboration between Appy Monkeys and Sony's India Hero Project

- Developed by India-based studio Appy Monkeys through Sony's incubation program

- Features full cross-platform play across mobile, PC and PS5 with unified DualShock controller support

The Indian game development scene continues showing remarkable growth, with projects like Indus Battle Royale sparking discussions about regional talent. This momentum reaches new heights with the upcoming 3D platformer Lokko, revealing the promising future of Indian gaming.

Created through Sony's India Hero Project initiative - which nurtures emerging Indian studios - Lokko combines classic platforming with creative tools. The game features comprehensive level editors and avatar customization as players battle against the Goobol food monopoly while delivering pizzas against the clock.

What makes Lokko particularly noteworthy is its technical implementation: not only does it support cross-platform play between all versions, but also fully leverages DualShock controller functionality regardless of platform.

The Promise of Lokko

Lokko smartly incorporates several successful modern gaming elements - customizable avatars, user-generated content tools, and an appealing low-poly visual style reminiscent of Roblox. However, PlayStation backing gives this title substantial credibility as potential competition in the space.

While not necessarily revolutionary in its core gameplay, Appy Monkeys' creation demonstrates solid execution with considerable promise. The India Hero Project appears poised to deliver more exciting titles following this strong debut.

Though Lokko's exact release date remains unannounced (only confirmed for 2024), interested players might enjoy investigating another excellent cross-platform indie - Black Salt Games' atmospheric fishing adventure Dredge.
