The story
An empire written in steel
In the early 13th century, the world stands on the edge of transformation. From the vast Mongolian steppe rises a force destined to challenge kingdoms, shatter dynasties, and reshape the map of Eurasia.
As the Mongol campaigns advance across deserts, fortresses, and imperial cities, the struggle reaches the mighty Khwarazmian Empire.
There, amid the collapse of a kingdom, emerges Sultan Jalal al-Din — a warrior whose resistance will become inseparable from the legend of the Indus.
Scimitars of the Indus: The Last Sultan explores an age of conquest, courage, and survival through a dramatized historical action experience.
A dramatized work inspired by history — not a precise reconstruction of every event it depicts.
The campaigns
Four campaigns, one conquest
The planned journey, in the order history wrote it — from the steppe to the Indus.
Campaign 01Planned
Unification of the Steppe
The beginning of an empire.
Explore the rivalries of the Mongolian steppe, tribal warfare, the harsh wilderness, and the rise of a conquering power.
Campaign 02Planned
Western Xia
Beyond the desert frontier.
The Mongol expansion reaches the Tangut kingdom of Western Xia, where desert strongholds and fortified settlements stand in the path of conquest.
Campaign 03Planned
Great Jin Dynasty
Against an imperial power.
The campaigns move into the territories of the Great Jin Dynasty, confronting heavily defended cities and imperial forces.
Campaign 04Planned
Khwarazm and the Indus
Where a legend refuses to fall.
The conflict reaches Central Asia and the Khwarazmian Empire, building toward Sultan Jalal al-Din's legendary confrontation and leap into the Indus.
These four campaigns are the planned narrative arc. The game is in development, and campaign content will be confirmed as it is completed. Images are stills from the announcement trailer, shown to set the tone.
