Luminous Productions’ Project Athia is set to be a showcase of the PS5’s technical strengths. In addition to taking advantage of PS5 hardware, Project Athia is an open-world game. Here’s what Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda had to say, courtesy of Gematsu:
“The game Project Athia (title tentative), which we will release for PS5, is an open-world style game in which users can freely move around the game world,” Matsuda told Weekly Tokyo Keizai Plus. “PS5 dramatically improves video technology, such as with the implementation of light-reflecting ‘ray-tracing’ technology. Compared to what you see on PC, it is nearly identical. By utilizing these special traits, we’re able to create incredibly precise imagery. We still plan on developing well-balanced games tailored to a platform’s traits, including smartphone and cloud-based games, but we will never stop developing for high-end platforms such as PS5. Because these things are packed with the best technology.”
Project Athia releases on PS5 and PC in the near future. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news and updates!
