Gaming veteran and Rockstar Games Alumni, Navid Khonsari, lights the fuse on his own revolution. His latest coup is 1979 Revolution, a suspenseful action/adventure game set in the gritty true events of 1979 Iran. With allegations in Iranian Press that Khonsari is a spy, to the concept artist’s dramatic and necessary flee from Iran, the road to development has been a whirlwind. Despite the controversies, Khonsari and team have successfully demoed a vertical slice this summer, which was met with very encouraging feedback.
With a dynamic slate of advisors (premiere political analysts and scholars), talent (actors like Homeland’s Navid Neghaban and Argo’s Farshad Farahat) and worldwide supporters, we are grateful to see that 1979 Revolution is proving to be more than a passion project, or just another game - but a movement for gamers, tech lovers, educators and wide audiences alike. 1979 Revolution pushes the boundaries of premium gaming. Offering mature narrative, with new media storytelling (historical assets, documentary content, graphic novel cinematics) and both suspenseful and engaging gameplay. All the while, natively designed for the tablet, 1979 Revolution allows wider audiences accessibility to the experience.
