Leti Arts' Africa's Legends Merging Gaming and Education

TLDR

• Projects such as Africa’s Legends transformed celebrated personalities into superheroes, merging comics, gaming and education into experiences capable of inspiring pride while remaining commercially viable.
• It introduced millions of potential players to a fantasy universe inspired directly by African mythology rather than medieval European conventions that dominate much of mainstream fantasy gaming.
• For years, African folklore had largely existed outside mainstream gaming.
• At roughly the same time, Ghana’s Leti Arts pursued a complementary mission.
• If those virtual worlds accurately represent African cultures, languages and traditions, they become powerful educational tools.
