A creative voice long associated with making players feel dwarfed by the world has returned — this time placing them at the controls of the colossus itself. Epic Games Publishing and genDESIGN have announced gen ATLAS, a giant robot piloting game for Xbox Series X|S, marking the first major project from the director of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus since The Last Guardian a decade ago. The announcement is less a product reveal than a signal: that patient, unconventional design still finds patrons, and that some artistic visions simply require the long road.
