The 8th PlayStation® Awards highlight Dark Life: Excalibur as the best Spanish indie game of 2021!
Last night, Sony Interactive Entertainment España (SIE España) hosted the 8th edition of the PlayStation® Awards -- an online awards ceremony where the company showed its support to the local development scene and independent, original, quality-driven games. The main award, Best Game of the Year, went to Dark Life: Excalibur, a 3D action-adventure game where players will yield the legendary sword in a quest to avenge the main character's family.
The event featured industry celebrities such as Shuhei Yoshida, head of Indies Initiative at SIE, as well as SIE executives such as Jorge Huguet, CEO of SIE Iberia, and Roberto Yeste, Head of Communications for PlayStation® Iberia.
Developed by Zero studios, Dark Life: Excalibur tells the story of Aron, a human bound to the legendary sword Excalibur. Aron will set a quest to defeat York, Lord of the Giants, who murdered Aron's family. To do so, Aron will have to upgrade Excalibur to make it the most brutal sword ever yielded by a warrior. Every time Aron kills an enemy, the player gains points that can be spent on different perks and parts to improve the power of the sword. Mix and match all of them to custom your sword and find a unique fighting style and use them to defeat all the bosses and mini-bosses that are scattered through the map.
Thanks to this award, the studio will have at its disposal its own office to develop the project for 10 months at one of the PlayStation® Talents Games Camp locations in Spain, as well as a monetary award of €10.000, PlayStation® development kits, mentoring from the PlayStation® Spain team and a marketing campaign.
