Two Iranian games nominated for MENA Games Industry Awards

Two games from Pershaland (Fake Emperors) and Paeezan (Mafiaso: Godfather of Mafia City) will compete for awards at the MENA Game of the Year and the Best Arabic Localisation award respectively.

MENA Game of the Year award recognizes the finest game experience released last year based on creativity, play mechanics, technological, artistic, and aural achievement, innovation, audience engagement, and both critical and commercial success.

To be eligible for this award, games must have been given a full release, received a significant update, or maintained substantial lives ops activity, during 2023.

The “Best Arabic Localisation Awards” recognize studios that have supported games last year in the areas of localisation, ensuring that both new releases and updates go live with as few hiccups as possible, and are localized appropriately for the target MENA market.

The winners of the festival will be announced on May 2 during the Dubai 2024 Game Expo Summit, following the final selection made by a jury of over 80 game industry experts.
