The Orange Giant Gaming Development FZCO, a studio based in the UAE, has detailed the systems behind its PC open-world action-adventure Zhai, scheduled for winter 2026. The project began when one of the studio's founders, after a motorcycle accident left him in a coma, experienced a vivid other world. On waking, he sketched those memories, which grew into the game's concept and led to the studio's founding.
Players explore Il'Navir, a fractured world of divided tribes, from frozen lands to hidden rocky regions and floating settlements. As Zhai, a warrior who has lost his memories and name, the player gathers tribes and uncovers the truth of his past while an ancient threat resurfaces.
