Fumito Ueda Unveils New Sci-Fi Game Project: Robot at The Game Awards

The creator of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus returns with a mysterious mech-focused title, marking his first foray into sci-fi and multi-platform releases.

The game, codenamed Project: Robot, was revealed during The Game Awards 2024 with a brief but visually striking teaser trailer.
The trailer depicts a lone figure climbing a massive mech as a countdown warns of an impending shockwave, culminating in the mech's head detaching and flying away.
This marks Fumito Ueda’s first game since 2016’s The Last Guardian, and his first collaboration with Epic Games Publishing, bringing the title to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.
The game diverges from Ueda’s previous fantasy settings, instead embracing a dystopian sci-fi aesthetic while retaining his signature focus on emotional storytelling and atmospheric design.
No release date or official title has been announced, and further details about gameplay and narrative remain under wraps.
