gen ATLAS has been announced at Summer Game Fest, coming from Fumito Ueda.
gen ATLAS has officially been revealed at Summer Game Fest. The new title comes from genDESIGN, helmed by video game visionary Fumito Ueda, creator of Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, and The Last Guardian. It’s a single-player, open-world action-adventure game that looks to carry on the DNA of his past titles. It will be published by Epic Games Publishing.
The trailer showcases tons of robotic action, where the protagonist awakens on an abandoned planet with no memory as to why. Huge, hulking machines roam the land, with massive fights that look like mechanical Colossi from Shadow of the Colossus. The protagonist looks to have plenty of weapons at their disposal, with different guns doing damage to the constructs. At one point, the main character watches two massive mechs fight, one getting their head knocked clean off.
CEO and creative director of genDESIGN, Fumito Ueda, is a legend in the video game space, with each of his past titles offering unique gameplay mechanics and heartfelt stories. ICO launched back in gen ATLAS looks to be a combination of all his previous work combined together. His last work, The Last Guardian, launched in 2016 on the PlayStation 4. gen ATLAS will be his first title to launch multi-platform, with ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian all launching exclusively on PlayStation.
Fumito had this to say about the new title: ““The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game. Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.”
No release window was given, but gen Atlas is confirmed to launch on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
