Stand once again on the shoulders of giants. Fumito Ueda of genDESIGN announced their latest project, which is untitled as of yet. The trailer sees a young individual climb aboard a gigantic robot as the clock ticks down from 60 seconds. While we may not know exactly what is going on, it can be noted that the shockwave impact seems to have demolished the once-standing robot, leaving the individual and the upper head of the robot safe. The game looks to incorporate sci-fi dystopian aspects to it, separating itself from the other games that Ueda has made before. This marks the second title coming from genDESIGN, with its debut being 2016’s The Last Guardian.
Fumito Ueda is an icon in the video game industry, having been the mastermind behind some of the most iconic gaming titles. His work has achieved cult status thanks to his minimalist approach to storytelling and self-constructed language.
