The next game from Fumito Ueda, the legendary creator behind ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and Last Guardian was revealed at Summer Game Fest.
One of the biggest reveals at this year’s Summer Game Fest showcase was gen ATLAS. Directed by Fumito Ueda (with many of the other developers behind his games on board too), the new game veers away from his typical fantasy settings and dives fully into science fiction territory. It looks pretty great:
Without knowing why, you awaken on an abandoned planet.
Before you lies a vast, silent world. Colossal structures stretch over endless plains, deserted facilities, and an ever-changing sea. The remnants of some grand design litter the planet’s surface.
As you journey deeper into this strange world, a colossal robot awaits. Its overwhelming power opens paths to places once beyond reach, transforming your conception of the world.
Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more…
“The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” said Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “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 date (or window), but gen ATLAS is set to his PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Epic Games Store.
