About Son of Thanjai

About this game

Thanjavur is no longer the empire you left behind. Whispers of unrest echo through its temples and streets. Allies seem uncertain; enemies hide in plain sight; foreign saboteurs inch closer to your throne.  

As a king born in the shadow of his father’s greatness, you must carve your own path while treading the fine line between duty and destiny. 

Wield the Surulvaal, a deadly whip-sword, as a Chola king burdened by his father’s legacy. Battle enemies, uncover conspiracies, and immerse yourself in 11th-century South India – all while carving your own legacy in this cinematic action-adventure epic. 

Strike From the Shadows or Unleash Fury 

Mount horses, elephants, and bulls–or blend into the crowd–as you hunt your targets through the vibrant city of Thanjai and its outskirts.

  • Master the Surulvaal, a deadly whip-sword, where every swing is a spectacle and every strike is personal

  • Engage in fluid, high-stakes melee combat inspired by Kalarippayattu, an ancient martial art 

  • Chain attacks and drop visceral finishers with elegance 

  • Disarm enemies with a variety of period-inspired weapons 

  • Infiltrate enemy camps and interrogate key targets to unlock crucial intel 

You control the battlefield.  

Relive the Epic Culture of 11th Century Southern India 

The world of Thanjai is a meticulously researched, richly detailed recreation of the Chola empire at its height, alive with culture, music, and meaning. 

  • Wander through the streets of Thanjavur, where temples pierce the sky and walls whisper forgotten stories. 

  • Witness folk performances, classical dances, and ceremonies drawn from ancient Tamil customs. 

  • Interact with everyday people–priests, farmers, merchants, and fishermen–each responding differently depending on how you present yourself 

  • Discover hidden lore that reflects your past and challenges your beliefs

Your Legacy Is Waiting to Be Written 

You are more than your bloodline. Stand tall. Defend your people. And, break the cycle. 

Your empire awaits.
