Here's another nice surprise from the SGF: Fumito Ueda, the legendary creator of masterpieces such as ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, has announced his new gen game ATLAS, developed by his studio genDesign and set in a futuristic world populated by giant ruined robots. The game, published by Epic Games, has also been confirmed to be in development for XBOX, marking the first time a Ueda game has arrived on Microsoft consoles.

In this new experience, we will wake up for no apparent memory or reason on a desolate and abandoned planet. Waiting for us we will find a vast and silent world, characterized by boundless plains, colossal structures that rise towards the sky, disused plants and a constantly changing sea. The remains of a grandiose and mysterious project cover the entire planetary surface, prompting us to explore every corner of this forgotten land.

Entering this alien and unknown environment, we will have to make a discovery that will radically change the way we interact with the environment: we will come across a robot of mammoth proportions. By exploiting its overwhelming power, we will be able to open a path to previously inaccessible areas, effectively transforming our very conception of the game world. It will be thanks to these enormous constructs that the secrets buried for an eternity will return to move before our eyes.

On the sidelines of the presentation, Fumito Ueda expressed all his gratitude to the community. The game designer emphasized how the passion and enthusiasm of the fans, who have always been eager to find out more about this project, have been a continuous source of motivation and inspiration for the entire development team. The ultimate goal of the authors is to give an experience capable of arousing moments of silent wonder and discovery, a trademark that those who loved his past works will surely find in this new, mysterious epic.

We leave you with the announcement trailer and a set of images: enjoy!
