SYDNEY — A brand-new fantasy adventure video game inspired by Mi’kmaq legends is projected to be released in late 2024.

"Kun'tewiktuk — A Mi'kmaw Adventure" is a third-person perspective game that will feature a story arc that progresses through levels and challenges players with a series of quests.

“I chair the Canadian commission of UNESCO's Indigenous Language Committee on behalf of Canada and we're noticing a decline in the language right across the country,” said Johnson. “When we have our young Mi’kmaw people playing, or non-Indigenous as well, that they'll be able to pick up these words. It's all about immersive learning and bringing those words into your subconscious mind so that when you engage in conversation outside of the game, you will already have heard a lot of these terms and words,” he said.

“There is definitely an interest because it involves technology and youth love that stuff, and we have the latest equipment at their disposal. We're there to support them in any way we can and to enhance their skills and whatever they're doing.”
