“While Iran has been making a concerted effort of late to beef
up its presence in the international game market, developers
located there still must oversome a series of obstacles to create
videogames.

“The Washington Post takes a look at the PC game Garshasp, the
Monster Slayer, which was created by a team of 20 Iranians
operating as Fanafzar Game Studios. The game, an action-adventure
title for the PC set in a world of mythological monsters, and
steeped in Persian history, is scheduled for a global release soon,
but the developers are choosing to delay a domestic release in
Iran, saying that “this is not the right time to promote our
game” in their own country.”
