Gen Atlas is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by genDESIGN and published by Epic Games Publishing. The game is directed by Fumito Ueda, known for his work on Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian. It is planned for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. As of June 2026, no release date has been announced.[1] It will be the first game directed by Ueda not to debut as a PlayStation exclusive, following his exit from Sony in 2011 during the development of The Last Guardian.[1][2]
