Fumito Ueda Teases Unnamed Project with Mesmerizing Trailer at The Game Awards

Fumito Ueda, the visionary behind Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and The Last Guardian, is officially working on a new project with his studio genDESIGN. Revealed with a breathtaking trailer during The Game Awards 2024, this upcoming title remains shrouded in mystery, without even a name to call its own. Published by Epic Games, the teaser showcases the trademark ethereal art style and emotional depth that Ueda's works are celebrated for.

The trailer offers fleeting glimpses into the game’s world, hinting at vast landscapes, towering structures, and intimate, character-driven moments.

The Last Guardian, genDESIGN’s last title, launched in 2016 after an eight-year development cycle, leaving a lasting impression on players with its poignant narrative and innovative gameplay. With this new project, the studio aims to capture that same magic while exploring uncharted creative territory.

The announcement has already sparked discussions among fans eager to speculate about the game’s narrative and mechanics. Could this be another emotional journey like Shadow of the Colossus, or will Ueda surprise us with something entirely new?
