UAE Publisher Announces Partnership with Octopath Traveler Studio Acquire

UAE’s Video Game Ambitions Amplified through Acquire Corp. Partnership for Premium IP Development

Following Saudi Arabia’s significant investments in the video game industry through its sovereign wealth fund, Savvy Games Group, the United Arab Emirates is also diversifying its sector. The UAE now leverages the expertise of Japanese studio Acquire Corp. to achieve these ambitions. Red Dunes Games, a UAE-based game creator and publisher, has signed a multi-year agreement with Acquire Corp., a leading Japanese game studio. This collaboration marks the first partnership of its nature between the UAE and Japan for premium game development, focusing on creating new international intellectual properties (IPs). Sultan Darmaki and Mohamed Jneibi, who founded Red Dunes Games in 2022, shared a long-standing dream of working in the video game industry. The company, which initially focused on indie titles, sought a reliable partner with a strong track record to support its growth and long-term publishing and development plans.

Global Collaboration Unveils Triple Threat: Project Tremor, Umbra, Shadowcar – A Gaming Odyssey Fuses East and West

The alliance has already unveiled three projects currently in development: Project Tremor, Project Umbra, and Project Shadowcar. Each project explores a unique genre and concept, including city-rattling kaiju battles, dark fantasy hunts, and gripping espionage dramas. These games are planned for global launches on PC and all major consoles, featuring multi-language support. The companies plan to premiere these at upcoming international events, with a showcase expected at the Tokyo Game Show in late September 2025. Sultan Darmaki described the partnership as a blend of “top-notch Japanese creativity with a daring vision.” Similarly, Takuma Endo stated that through this collaboration, the teams are “cooking up something truly global.” The new alliance signifies a pivotal moment in the evolving landscape of international game publishing.
