Project Awakening, that seriously good looking action role-playing game from Japanese developer Cygames, has been trademarked in Europe. The project was first revealed last year as part of PlayStation's LineUp Tour, and the title's first trailer looked so promising that it demanded everyone's attention.
We still know very little about Project Awakening -- a supposed PS4 game -- but this new trademark could mean that fresh information is heading our way. What's more, said trademark is for 'Project Awakening: Arise' -- the brand new subtitle suggesting that the game's development has hit a milestone in some way.
In any case, consider us very excited to learn more.

First I've seen or heard of it.
@Paranoimia https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/09/project_awakening_is_a_japanese-made_fantasy_action_rpg_coming_to_ps4
Well worth a watch.
@Paranoimia me too..
Any chance we can get a link to the trailer added?
Edit: never mind shogun rok beat me to it.
@ShogunRok that was seriously impressive!
Man CyGames has been busy. Working on two projects for Nintendo and this? Didnt think they were so big.
hehehe I almost forgot this game.
@ShogunRok Very impressive trailer, but also impossible to judge the actual game as it looks pre-rendered.
@Paranoimia It's apparently all in-engine. I think the real question is whether it's really a PS5 game, purely based on the visuals.
@ShogunRok Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be the first to come out and say it to rile up the 'there are current PS4 games that look better that that' crowd.
I hope the subtitle is a demo coming our way
@Turismo4GT not to be that guy,but why are we still wondering if a game will be on ps4 just because of the visuals?
it's a known fact that games look at their best at the end of a console lifecycle and we know what the ps4 can do based on it's exclusives.
at this point it would be the amount of NPC's and assets in the world that would have me ask the question if a game is a ps4 game or not.
@ShogunRok It's possible, I suppose, but "in engine" doesn't necessarily mean that in-game will look that good, as in-game usually uses lower quality textures etc. For me though, it's the animation which suggests pre-rendered more than the visuals.
@Feena Could well be something like a demo or beta test — some kind of early look at the game. Reasoning being that I doubt the final game will be called Project Awakening.
This game looks too good to be true. And when something looks too good to be true, it usually disappoints in the end. So I reserve judgment.
It does have very strong Dragon Age vibes though...or at least what Dragon Age should be.
@ShogunRok Thanks for the link to the trailer, not sure I've seen it before.
Looks like SotC 4k but janky. Who knows what's in the rest of the game though, could be another MH. Or anything really.
Oh, and I just took the new name to mean they really liked how well Horizon: Zero Dawn was received so they added a colon to the title for good luck. That was my true first reaction BTW.
@Knuckles-Fajita Yep, two little mobile games for Nintendo, and two big-boy console games for Playstation.
@Enuo and some development assistance for Smash alongside many other Nintendo partners.
Only one mobile game though
@Knuckles-Fajita Same difference. All Nintendo games are basically mobile now.
Cygames clearly knows where the hardcore gamers are.
@Enuo Well, it all runs on a mobile chipset so true. So does that mean all Sony games are PC games?
this game looks amazing.looks like monster Hunter world and dragon age.and that's a good thing.hopefully you can play as a mage.word up son
@ShogunRok that looks really good! first I have heard of it today
So does that mean theres going to be a full reveal this year at some event?
@JJ2 Yeah it's a good shout, I think you're gonna hear a lot more about this in 2019.
Looks like a Dark Souls/Dragon Age mashup, so for that alone it definitely has my interest!
Yeah I have a hard time believing this is a PS4 game...
Far more excited for Granblue Relink
Looks good, but a terrible forgettable name.
@ShogunRok Completely forgot about that trailer TBH. Looks like my jam for sure!
@Real_Obsi I was just about to post the same thing.
Ooh she's got potential alright. Could end up being awful, of course, but the standard of games at the minute is properly excellent. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.
Looks pretty amazing. How that guy survived those sort of attacks, I'm not sure, would expect a few broken bones there.
