Gen Atlas Revealed at Summer Game Fest

A gameplay trailer shows open-world mech combat and confirms Epic Games will publish the title on PlayStation, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store.

Overview

  • The studio genDESIGN officially announced the game name gen Atlas during Summer Game Fest on Friday, unveiling a gameplay-focused trailer that replaces the prior codename Project Robot.
  • gen Atlas is described as a single-player, open-world action-adventure set on an abandoned planet where colossal structures and derelict robots begin to move again.
  • The trailer shows new mechanics for creator Fumito Ueda, including climbing and piloting parts of giant robots and using third-person firearms in direct combat.
  • Epic Games is the publisher, so the game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and on Windows as an Epic Games Store exclusive, and no release date or window was announced.
  • The project comes from Ueda and core staff behind Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and its more action‑oriented tone plus multiplatform release marks a clear shift from his previous PlayStation‑only work and could broaden the studio’s audience.
