Just revealed during the Shacknews E4 2025 Indie Showcase, Blood of Mehran is looking like a hack and slash that genre fans might want to keep an eye on. Hailing from Blowfish Studios and developer Permanent Way Games, the upcoming title features a locale that you don’t see all that often in gaming, that being the ancient middle-east.

It’s there that title hero Mehran has to take up his sword (or swords) on a quest against a corrupt throne, to avenge the deaths of his family. Along the way, he’ll make use of multiple forms of combat, including melee and ranged, plus have to engage in a little stealth, and maybe deal with some magic too.

Carve a crimson path of revenge in Blood of Mehran. Inspired by the legendary Middle Eastern folktales of Arabian Nights, take down a corrupt king to avenge the fleeting memories of lost loved ones.

Wield deadly weapons in pure hack-and-slash gameplay. Balance offense and defense with a  Sword and Shield, go all-out with no-holds-barred using Double Swords, or stealthily seek vengeance with the Bow and Arrow.
