Action RPG Genigods: Nezha Get World Reveal Trailer, Coming To PS5 and PC In 2028

Last night, Genigods Lab revealed Genigods: Nezha, a brand new single-player third-person action RPG coming exclusively to PS5 and PC in 2028. The action-packed trailer is included above, while more details about this upcoming game are included below:

Genigods: Nezha is a premium, pay-upfront, hardcore action role-playing game set against the chaotic backdrop of ancient Chinese genesis mythology. You are the Spirit Pearl—the very first spark of life forged by Nüwa, the Goddess of Life, from the essence of earth, water, and fire. 

In this epic journey, you will evolve from a celestial artifact into the first human, a woman crafted from water and clay, before eventually being reborn as the legendary Nezha. Legendary heroes share your journey: Yi, the sun-feller, and Yu, the flood-tamer. Beside you also dwells the Heart of Sacred Water—Nüwa’s sentient gift that grows with you, serving as your vital companion to solve ancient puzzles, conquer the toughest trials, and learn the dark truth behind this new world.

Genigods Lab’s 100-person team previously made the critically and commercially acclaimed My Hero Academia mobile game, published by Sony Crunchyroll. The team also developed the popular Condor Heroes series for mobile platforms, which recently surpassed over 10 million downloads worldwide.

Players can expect a story-driven adventure, including the following features: 

• Celestial Combat
  Experience the dynamic scale of Chinese mythic warfare, where battle flows seamlessly between Heaven and Earth. Switch seamlessly between ground and aerial combat utilising dual stances, awaken temporary mythic abilities to perform devastating combos and mid-air strikes, and combine treasures discovered in the game world to create unique skills.
  
• Colossal Gods and the Sun Tree
  Built with Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for PlayStation, Genigods: Nezha delivers a one-of-a-kind Chinese-style colossal adventure: climb ancient gods towering like mountains and fight by traversing the contours of their bodies. With the help of the giant Kuafu, scale the Sun Tree that bridges mortal and celestial realms, then draw your bow to extinguish the Nine Suns and end the scorching catastrophe.
  
• Water Philosophy & Jeet Kune Do Mechanics
  Genigods: Nezha’s combat is inspired by Bruce Lee’s iconic ‘Be Water’ philosophy through the Divine Water within Nezha. Her techniques adapt the essence of Jeet Kune Do. Condense water into a piercing One-Inch Flash for armor-breaking blows, or unleash water all at once, as a sweeping Dragon’s Kick to tackle crowds of enemies at once. This system encourages players to master a defensive, reactive style of combat— and requires perfect timing to parry and counter with the adaptable precision of water itself.
