00:00The next game from the creator of Shadow of the Colossus just got its name and first gameplay reveal.
00:12So Fumita Ueda, creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, teased a look at his next game
00:19with his company GenDesign a couple years ago, but we didn't know a whole lot about it.
00:23As of Summer Game Fest of this year, we now know its name, which is Gen Atlas, and we have
00:27seen this gameplay reveal, which looked very familiar in the best way possible, though.
00:33So as you'd expect from his past games, you are a very small protagonist.
00:37You're this little robot person, and you've got this huge old friend, this big old mech thing that you are
00:41climbing and piloting in some way.
00:44And also, like all his other games, it looks very desolate, sandy, abandoned.
00:50There's this warm, low-key sci-fi soundtrack.
00:53It looks like it's probably going to be very narratively opaque, the way that I remember Shadow of the Colossus
00:59being so many years ago.
01:00The stuff I didn't expect was your character has a gun on their back, and you can see a section
01:06where you're shooting at enemies off the back of this tank-like vehicle.
01:09And you've got a jetpack also, so you're climbing up your big mech friend, and then you're jetpacking around to
01:15other parts of it.
01:16But otherwise, it looked so familiar, and it looks like more of the same, but newer and fresher, which is
01:23exactly what I could have asked for.
01:24Because I haven't stopped thinking about Shadow of the Colossus, and this will be the first wholly new game we're
01:29getting from Ueda on PC in over 20 years, basically, right?
01:33Because Shadow of the Colossus came out originally in, like, 2005, and it got a remake that came to PC
01:39in 2018, I think.
01:41But The Last Guardian never came to PC at all, so this is exactly what I've been hoping for.
01:47Something new coming to PC.
01:48We don't know a release date yet, so don't know when it's coming, but we do know its name, Gen
01:52Atlas, and we've seen this trailer.
01:54Looks pretty promising to me.
01:56We'll see you next time.
