Pilot a giant robot head in 'gen Atlas,' the new game from the creator of Ico

The trailer teases harsh environments and a narrative built into the world, while Epic Games will publish the PS5 release.

  • At Summer Game Fest, Fumito Ueda revealed Gen Atlas, his new project previously known as Project Robot. Footage showcased high-tech environments and battling robots, eliciting gasps from attendees.
  • Development on the title follows a 10-year gap since The Last Guardian. Ueda's previous project took nine years to complete, suggesting fans should temper expectations regarding a launch date.
  • Gameplay footage reveals high-tech environments and a narrative centering on two differently sized robots. This small-guy-and-large-guy dynamic mirrors Ueda's trademark style, evoking memories of Ico and the PS2 era.
  • Published by Epic Games, Atlas is coming to PS5. The title continues the creator's propensity for unlikely in-game duos, though no confirmed release date exists.
  • The footage shows the ruined remains of a vast robot, hinting at high-tech decline familiar to fans of Shadow of the Colossus. Hopefully, Atlas marks the beginning of new creative doors opening.
