Everything we know about the PlayStation 5 exclusive Athia project

Sony hosted its Future of Gaming live stream where it showcased a variety of global exclusives, as well as the first glimpse of how the PlayStation 5 will look. The company hasn't punched, and among these announcements, the next game called Project Athia. It is worked by Luminous Productions, and its only credit is having Final Fantasy XV for Google's Stadia, however, it is a subsidiary of Square Enix.

The brief teaser we have for the mythical creature game shows, from a wolf dripping fire from its mouth to a tall plant-like creature with one eye, towering over our protagonist. Our protagonist doesn't appear to be carrying a weapon, but she has these powerful magical abilities where we see her calling out those great vines from the ground to wrap around an enemy.

At the end of the trailer, we see a large fogstorm surrounding an open-breasted dragon, burning like the center of a volcano. We get a brief glimpse of it as it clears the fog by shaking its wings, but it quickly turns black and we have yet to speculate on how it fits into the story.

Project Athia will bring together various unique graphic design approaches that are coming out with the PlayStation 5. It presents a vast world, brimming with delicate and intricate graphic detail that will wow what previous generations of consoles were capable of producing. Project Athia will be an action-packed experience full of terror and adventure, allowing players to explore a very large world.

Gary Whitta, co-writer of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 2016 film is the lead writer on the project. He shared a personal tweet from his Twitter account shortly after the reveal to share his enthusiasm for leading a wonderful team of renowned writers to create this new universe for Square Enix.
