The Lore of UBAR\u2122<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before Ubar was ripped from its universe and transported to Qiddiya, it stood as the pinnacle of human achievement and the perfect fusion of creativity and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its original universe, Ubar, known here as the \u201cAtlantis of the Sands,\u201d was never lost to time but evolved into a futuristic metropolis, blending global cultures and innovations. As the world outside succumbed to climate disaster, Ubar opened its doors to the climate refugees, becoming a dynamic hub of multiculturalism and technological marvels driven by super-intelligent, organic computing, creating a new kind of cyberpunk where humans and machine merged into something new. This movement was dubbed, Arab Futurism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the fa\u00e7ade of this technological utopia, a rot is slowly setting in; an emerging entity is corrupting the AI caretakers of Ubar with only one agenda. Rid Ubar of the humans that built it. Forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBAR\u2122 powered by Qiddiya Gaming is open at Tokyo Game Show, September 26-29, 2024 at Makuhari Messe, Hall 4 from 10am-5pm, daily (and on the 29th September from 9:30am-4:30pm).  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
