Very surprised to see this. Maybe it will be at TGS with a demo date followed by the NA and Europe dates. Was truly expecting this to be a next gen title.

So this demo was released yesterday? Or was the release date only for the news? I do not see it on PS4. Looks very cool.

I think one of the major problems Cygames has to face as a new player in the console market is to become competitive in the West not only in terms of their games development budgets but also in terms of marketing. They are one of the wealthiest Japanese companies but i hope they realize they need to invest strongly in marketing otherwise their development efforts will go to waste. Even more so since they are willing to risk and try new things in AAA games like Project Awakening,in a AAA Western market that thrives with the same,safe and risk-free gameplay tropes for more than a decade now.

Edit:I'm only saying this because they have made some pretty ambitious statements recently about being very serious in becoming a major "player" in the international console games market.

Never played anything from Cygames but there is too much good taste in art and gameplay to not be hyped for this game.

Dudes, upload some videos on You Tube for us, PS4 depriveds!

By the way this is the first teaser trailer for Project Awakening from back in 2016. It seems back then they aimed for a more "anime" aesthetic which is very different from the more photo-realistic art style the project currently has.


I think that looked very interesting too. I liked the setting with the huge structures and massive flying beasts floating around them.

Interesting but I'm glad they switch to a more western art.

When japanese devs do anime, it is great, but when they try to make western visuals, they usually hit the ball out of the park. Dark Souls, and Dragons Dogma doesn't let me lie.

Don't know why is that but seems to me that realism limits how much they can go, but at the same time, because anime influence, they try to push what they can, breeding new aproachs to design. The armors gets stylish and pratical at the same time.

I don't know,as far as i know this was always meant to be a PS4 game. But i think it's very possible it will be a crossgen title.

For some context, this footage was for a showcase of their engine, apparently ...

New Project Awakening footage showcased at Cygames Tech Conference - Gematsu

Cygames debuted new footage of its September 2018-announced action RPG Project Awakening during a Cygames Tech Conference session on procedural background creation tools and rendering features for open worlds in its Cyllista Game Engine.

While official news on the game has been silent since its initial announcement, it has been mentioned here and there in tech-related discussions. For example, during a CEDEC 2020 presentation on September 2, 2020, Cygames mentioned, “At Cygames, we are currently recruiting staff to work with us on developing the Cyllista Game Engine, as well as to create Project Awakening, the first game built on the Cyllista Game Engine.” And during a Famitsu interview in May 2021, Project Awakening director Junji Tago said the game and engine are being developed in tandem and mutually influence each other.

Project Awakening was announced for PlayStation 4.

But have no fear, non-PS users, for this game is apparently multi-platform.

FL: What platforms will it be available on? Next generation?
CG Takaki: As new as possible and as broad as possible. That’s not really our goal, but if it happens, a new generation comes out and [our game] is still in development then yes.

I agree that Japanese takes on the western aesthetics are usually more interesting than actual western devs doing it.

But I'd rather let them go to their full potential without being held back. Especially when it comes to character design, Beard dude mc armourson aint interesting .
