Developer Letter
The Legend of the Mask tells the story of an unknown warrior who is chosen by an ancient Aztec Mask to inherit his powers and become the strongest warrior the world has ever seen. Guide a humble taxi driver, and fulfill the ancient prophecy of turning him into the Legend of the Mask. “
Project Mask is a video game developed in Mexico by BC Media Lab (www.bcmedialab.com), in collaboration with Gamacon (www.gamacon.mx), Hyperkinetic Studios (www.hyperkineticstudios.com), and Masked Republic (www.maskedrepublic.com); where through Mexican Lucha Libre, we show the world how rich our country is, promoting its culture, history, tourist places, indigenous peoples, traditions and customs.
The game will feature a selection of renowned Mexican wrestlers who are represented by Masked Republic’s Legends of Lucha Libre division, the player’s association of the icons, legends and current superstars of the sport. Among those they represent are Konnan, Psychosis, Rush, Dragon Lee, Penta Zero M, Rey Fenix, Solar, Super Astro, Lady Maravilla, Keyra, Christi Jaynes, Laredo Kid and Black Taurus along with the estates of Perro Aguayo, Hijo del Perro Aguayo and Super Porky.
Mexico is a great country and everyone on the team loves it. We have a rich cultural heritage, with stories worth telling; stories of heroes, romances, villains and betrayals.
Project Mask was born from the need to tell the world a small part of those stories, of who we are and where we come from. Legends about our heroes, Mexican luchadores, our Aztec and Mayan warriors, and various indigenous groups that have been part of our history.
“We invite you to be part of our world.”
Our video game focuses on self-discovery and spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical balance. A story where brotherhood, our roots and traditions play an important role. Where redemption is earned through our actions, and only through the transformation of our hearts and minds do we gain the power to transform the world.
During their adventures, our heroes will travel through landscapes and locations of ancient Mexico and contemporary Mexico, such as Pátzcuaro Lake and the Monarch butterfly forest in Michoacán, Laguna Salada and La Rumorosa in Baja California, Chichen Itzá and Tulum in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Project Mask is a 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up game with role-playing and cooperative elements for up to 4 players. Featuring unique combat mechanics that combine the elegant yet brutal art of Lucha Libre with 2D beat ’em up action.
