Shakespeare Company to Launch Interactive Macbeth Game Set in Modern Iran

The game, titled 'Lili,' reimagines Lady Macbeth's story in a neo-noir Iran with players shaping her fate through interactive choices.

'Lili' is the Royal Shakespeare Company's first video game, developed in collaboration with New York-based studio iNK Stories.
The game reinterprets Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' with Lady Macbeth as the central character, set in a stylized, neo-noir version of modern Iran under authoritarian rule.
Players will explore themes of power, gender, and morality while making decisions that influence Lady Macbeth's destiny.
The game blends live-action cinematic sequences with interactive gameplay, featuring Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Cannes-winning actress, as Lady Macbeth.
'Lili' is expected to release in late 2025 and will reimagine the witches as hackers, incorporating cyber-infiltration and surveillance elements into the narrative.
