Well well well, what have we got here? Do you remember Project Awakening? It was announced for PlayStation 4 during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference in 2018. It got that amazing looking CG trailer. We suggest that you go watch it if your memory's a little fuzzy.
Anyway, near the beginning of this year, Project Awakening: Arise was trademarked in Europe, and now it's back. The same product has been rated by Europe's PEGI board, which can often mean that some kind of official announcement -- or even release -- is imminent.
The rating reads: "This trial version will allow players to get a taste of the combat and action available from Project Awakening, an action role-playing game featuring photorealistic graphics. In Project Awakening: Arise..."
Could developer Cygames be about to shadow drop this "trial version"? Maybe it's going to feature in Sony's Tokyo Game Show 2019 livestreams? We just don't know, but something's happening behind the scenes.
If you're wondering what Project Awakening actually is, we got quite a few details back in June. An E3 interview revealed some interesting bullet points: it's an open world title, it has some form of co-op multiplayer, and it was said to be in heavy development. Indeed, it sounded like Project Awakening was destined to be a PS5 release, but if this trail version is being rated for PS4, it might be farther along than we thought. We'll have to wait and see.
Do you have any predictions for this one? Let your expectations run wild in the comments section below.

@Shepherd_Tallon Good timing!
No opinion until I see it. No hype for it which is good and hopefully the gameplay will speak for itself.
I didn't remember it from last year earlier this year, but I do remember it from earlier this year.
So when's Deep Down releasing?
(I know they aren't related, but they are in my head)
That trailer looks like PS5 footage. It's probably just CGI, but still. If it looks anything like that on the PS5, I'm in.
That 2018 CG trailer looks fantastic, so this game has potential. I'll keep my expectations in check until we see more though.
The words "co-op multiplayer" have tempered my enthusiasm for this title.
Awesome. Been waiting for a gameplay video ever since I saw the trailer.
Trial version? Are they dropping a beta? Because in my opinion, that would be a bad sign for the kind of game we can expect.
@doctommaso I hope it's similar to coop like in dark souls and monster hunter.
@NoxAeturnus How is a beta a bad sign for you? I'm curious since betas help find bugs and let's one know how the game plays out.
@RawnDawn Doesn't seem like many single player games do a beta. Most of the time they're stress testing their servers and finding bugs for online play. If online multiplayer is a huge component or selling point for this game, I'm probably not interested in it.
@doctommaso yeah.... always with the co-op - WE DONT ALL LIKE CO-OP.
Maybe a crossplatform release. But i rather see the Legend of Dragoon release. Remake or Remastered i dont care.
"CG" trailer?
I~~~~~ dunno ...
