Developer GenDesign of The Last Guardian Teases a 2023 Game Announcement

The Last Guardian’s production company has hinted that it would reveal its next project in 2023. Since its creator Fumito Ueda first teased it in 2018, GenDesign’s next project has been eagerly awaited. However, Ueda is renowned for his projects’ longer-than-anticipated development times. Fans have been waiting patiently since they knew GenDesign will provide additional details about its next game as soon as it was able to. That moment can be arriving quickly.

GenDesign’s existence may be brief—it was established in 2014 and has only produced The Last Guardian to this point—but its reputation dates back far further than that year. Fumito Ueda and Team Ico developed GenDesign. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, which were both created by Ueda and his crew and were released in 2001 and 2005, respectively, came before The Last Guardian. Then, it took almost ten years to complete The Last Guardian, with Ueda and Team Ico departing Sony to establish GenDesign.

GenDesign studio sent out a message to all of its followers on Twitter wishing them a Happy New Year and linking to job opportunities in an effort to attract new employees. It also carried a unique message. 2023 will “finally be a year in which we can deliver you much to speak about,” according to GenDesign. The inference is that GenDesign’s next project will be able to be formally announced in 2023.

 

 

However, GenDesign doesn’t fully commit to making a game announcement. Even yet, it partially qualifies its original claim by stating that it is “working hard to make this happen.” In other words, there is still a lot of work to be done before GenDesign’s next project can be shown. However, the GenDesign team is working arduously to make it happen and hopes that fans will continue to look forward to it.

The next project from GenDesign is not well recognised. A teaser picture with what seemed to be the game’s initial screenshot was the only official information released about the title. In keeping with the theme, it showed a youngster or guy wearing some kind of cloak standing close to something enormous and placing his hand on it. It may be a clue that GenDesign’s next project would have a different companion like Trico from The Last Guardian.

Fans are eagerly anticipating GenDesign’s next project, whatever it may be. Although Team Ico and Fumito Ueda have only played three games together before, the players treasure those experiences. Even if it may be unrealistic to want to match the success of Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, or even The Last Guardian, fans will continue to support GenDesign’s efforts as it looks beyond 2023 and beyond.
