Action RPG
Get ready to dive into a world of ancient Chinese mythology with Genigods: Nezha, an upcoming single-player action RPG. Developed by Genigods Lab, this game is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in 2028. Yep, that's a bit of a wait, but hopefully it will be worth it! What's super interesting is that you'll play as Nezha, the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, which was the first life created by the Goddess Nuwa. Your mission? To navigate a chaotic world where gods are at war and the land is in ruins. Seems like a pretty heavy task if you ask me!
What to Expect
I'm especially stoked about the combat system. It's said to allow you to switch between ground and aerial combat smoothly. You'll get to wield Nezha’s iconic Fire-Tipped Spear and soar through the skies with Wind Fire Wheels. Plus, there's something called Fluidmystic, where you can tap into mythic abilities and imbue your weapons with sacred water. It sounds pretty epic! Also, the game is being built with Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for PlayStation, which should result in a beautiful and immersive experience. One of the coolest features mentioned is fighting on and around colossal gods that are as big as mountains. That’s something I definitely want to see in action! It seems like they are aiming for something special by blending Chinese mythology with engaging gameplay. While 2028 is still a ways off, I am definetly putting this game on my radar!1 Video of Genigods: Nezha:
