MYSverse officially announces Sumaya, a new Malaysian metaverse experience supported by MDEC’s Digital Content Grant
We’re taking MYSverse to Borneo! We are proud to unveil Sumaya, a new roleplay experience inspired by Beaufort, Sabah. Backed by MDEC, this project reflects our commitment to showcasing Malaysian heritage on the Roblox platform. Get ready for authentic local jobs and vehicles, coming in Q1–Q2 2026.
MYSverse is proud to officially announce Sumaya, our upcoming large-scale Malaysian town and city roleplay experience built on the ROBLOX platform. Developed with the support of the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) through the Digital Content Grant (DCG), Sumaya represents a significant milestone in our mission to bring Malaysian culture, experiences, and creativity to a global audience.
With two experiences, Lebuhraya and Bandaraya, already in our belt set in West Malaysia, we are proud to say that Sumaya will be our first experience set in East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo!
Sumaya, which is based on the real-life town of Beaufort, Sabah, will be an open-world experience where players can explore the vibrant town of Sumaya, work a variety of interactive and relevant jobs, engage in career-based roleplaying, and drive a number of recognizable vehicles, all inspired by everyday Malaysian life.
