While the world is celebrating big releases, a small Lagos-based team called Sunrise Interactive is making waves with its cultural adventure game, Legends of Oduduwa.
The game blends Yoruba mythology with modern gameplay, letting players explore ancient kingdoms, solve puzzles, and battle trickster spirits using traditional weapons and chants. What’s unique is its voiceover in Yoruba, Hausa, and Pidgin — a first for an African indie title.
Founder Tolulope Adeniran says the team’s mission is to “make African kids see themselves as heroes.” The game recently got featured on Steam’s “Indie Gems” list and is now being tested for mobile optimisation.
Sunrise Interactive plans to release Legends of Oduduwa globally in early 2026 — proof that Nigeria’s gaming scene is on the rise and ready to tell its own stories.
