Summary
gen Design formally introduced its long-teased new title, gen ATLAS, with Epic Games publishing the project and Unreal Engine 5 powering development.
Unreal Engine 5 marks a notable shift for the studio, whose 2016 release The Last Guardian endured a prolonged production cycle tied in part to toolset and technical problems.
The new trailer shows giant mecha battles mixed with on-foot control, puzzle elements and shooting sections, with a detachable mecha head appearing to function as a swappable part.
The game’s scale and traversal echo Fumito Ueda’s earlier work on giant creatures, while its heavy industrial robots also resemble classic mecha action games such as Gigantic Drive.
