Port of Jumanah, an underwater roguelite adventure inspired by the pearl-diving traditions of the Arabian Peninsula, is set to launch September 7, 2026. Developed by Red Dunes Games and Agate, the game will be available for PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5.
Underwater Adventure Blends Roguelite Combat and Exploration
Port of Jumanah combines fast-paced 2.5D roguelite combat with underwater exploration, fantasy storytelling and a colorful cast of characters.
Players take control of Mansour, a carefree pearl diver whose routine expedition takes an unexpected turn after he opens a mysterious Black Giant Clam. The discovery unleashes a series of problems beneath the sea, sending Mansour on a larger journey to restore order.
Central to the adventure are mysterious black pearls that players must recover as they explore different underwater regions.
The game’s setting draws heavily from the historic pearl-diving traditions of the Arabian Peninsula, incorporating those cultural influences into a fictional world filled with supernatural creatures, unusual encounters and lighthearted humor.
Players Build Their Loadout Before Each Dive
As a roguelite, Port of Jumanah requires players to prepare before heading beneath the waves.
Players can choose weapons, gadgets and crew members to create a loadout suited to each expedition. Combat takes place in real time, with different challenges waiting throughout the game’s underwater environments.
Each region concludes with a confrontation against a powerful guardian, adding major combat encounters to the progression structure.
Returning to Port Opens New Quests and Stories
Not all of the action takes place underwater. Mansour regularly returns to port, which serves as a hub where players can discover additional stories, complete quests and prepare for another dive.
The structure creates a cycle of preparation, exploration, combat and return trips as players gradually progress through the adventure.
Along the way, Mansour encounters an eclectic group of characters, including a formidable female pirate, a wise old turtle, an unusually wealthy girl and a playful genie with a habit of teasing those around him.
Port of Jumanah Includes Six Hours of Main Adventure
Red Dunes Games and Agate estimate that the main adventure will offer about six hours of gameplay.
Players seeking more content will also find additional challenges aimed at completionists. Side activities include rescuing frogs scattered throughout the adventure, providing another objective beyond the primary search for the black pearls.
