Project Awakening is an upcoming action role-playing game in a fantasy setting being developed by Cygames, and initially announced for the PlayStation 4 in September 2018.

History

Development of Project Awakening as a 'high-end console game' was announced at Cygames Next event (Tokyo) in November 2016, under development at Cygames Osaka studio.[1]

A short gameplay video was shown in a closed session at E3 2018.[2] The game was described as showing some influences from games such as Monster Hunter and Dragon's Dogma.[3]

The game was officially announced as an action fantasy RPG in September 2018 for the PlayStation 4 system, with Junji Tago as the director, and Ryosuke Aiba as the art director.[4]

Producer Kenichiro Takaki described the game as an open-world game, containing some RPG elements, with a focus on combat, including co-op multiplayer aspects - the game has a traditional high fantasy setting. The game was intended by Cygames as an attempt to break into the western console market - the name was also confirmed as only a working title. Takaki also discussed the possibility of the game becoming a PlayStation 5 title if development extended into the next generation of consoles.[5][6]

In August 2019 a potential demo version was registered (16+) with the European ratings board PEGI.[7][8]
