When in regards to developer gen Design, the game development studio is held to a higher standard for being most recognized for its 2005 release, Shadow of the Colossus.

The same can also be said for the follow-up release, The Last Guardian.
Although the release is received to be missing the mark to its predecessor, devoted fans for gen Design are grateful for a second game after waiting more than a decade.

In its annual greeting card, the firm does illustrate on instance for the unnamed title. Looking in the “1” of the image, it is evident that what this new pursuit might be for gen Design will follow closely in terms for atmosphere alike previous projects.
One thing worth noting is that whatever this new game might be, it is surly being published by Epic Games. The Fortnite firm announced to be funding upcoming projects for The Last Guardian team alongside Remedy Entertainment and Playdead. While development is presumed to be on a straight course for almost a handful of years, gen Design secured more funding through Epic Games to confidently conclude development leading forward.
