Project Athia: more details on the new Square Enix open-world released

During the event dedicated to the launch lineup of PlayStation 5, held last June 11, was shown with a short teaser trailer, which introduced the protagonist of the title and some game mechanics, Project Athia, a new project of Square Enix e Luminous Productions. Finally, just over a month after its presentation, more details have emerged on the weekly Tokyo Keizai Plus, spread directly Yosuke Matsuda, president and representative director of Square Enix. We report his words in detail:

Project Athia (the name of the game is still provisional), which we will release for PS5, is an open world style game where users can move freely in the game world. PS5 significantly improves video technology, for example with the implementation of "ray-tracing" technology that allows you to enhance the reflection of light.

Compared to what you will see on PC, it is almost all identical. Using these special specifications, we are able to create incredibly precise elements, and we envision continuing to develop well-balanced games, tailored to the characteristics of a platform, including smartphones and cloud-based games, but we will never stop developing titles for platforms. high-end like PS5, because these feature the best technology available on the market.

Unfortunately, despite the president of Square Enix revealed some interesting news about Project athia, at the moment we don't know when it will debut on PlayStation 5 e PC the new work of Luminous Productions, but we expect to find out more details later, perhaps near the launch of the new Sony console, expected near the Christmas festivities of the 2020.
