GENDER LIMITATIONS: Dozens of Saudi women have taken to the road in recent years in protest at the ban on female drivers, but videogame Saudi Girls Revolution hopes to take things one step further and inspire male and female gamers to question gender roles.
LONDON: Saudi Arabian women will overcome a ban on female drivers and gain the right to drive this year, but only in a mobile videogame designed by a member of the royal family.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Saudi Girls Revolution features Saudi women racing motorcycles. It is being developed for mobile phones by Na3m, whose founder is Prince Fahad bin Faisal Al-Saud, the grandson of the Saudi King Salman's brother.
