Turkish independent development company RealityArts Studio and video game publisher Toplitz Productions have revealed the new Gamescom trailer for their action melee game Unawake.
The game has been developed in Unreal Engine 5, a 3D creation tool that is used for game development, virtual production and other content creation.
The official synopsis of the game reads as follows:
The Unreal Engine 5 powered title will bring action-packed, yet tactical skirmish combat thick and fast as players try to survive in an end-time caused by angels and demons. Unawake’s nightmarish world is brought to life by stunning world design visuals set against a narrative of an epic battle against impossible odds, where players decide the fate of humanity and determine the future of an Earth marked by merciless wars between creatures from heaven and hell.
The game utilises Audio2Face technology from Nvidia to enhance its character animations working in tandem with Epic’s MetaHuman toolset. The technology is made possible with generative AI to create emotional and lifelike facial animations from pre-recorded voiceover samples, adding an incredible realism to non playable characters (NPC). Epic’s MetaHuman is a framework that allows users to create and use photorealistic digital humans to use in a variety of projects created on Unreal Engine 5.
Set in a dark fantasy universe, the game features first-person melee combat, a character progression and a loot system. The loot system lets players level up their character as well as customise their loadouts. The game includes a variety of weapons that allow players to face harder, more challenging adversaries.
Toplitz Productions CEO Matthias Wünsche said about the game, “The visceral action led gameplay, deep progression system combined with the power of Unreal Engine 5 and Nvidia’s Audio2Face technology is a true testament to pushing the boundaries of narrative and immersive experiences.”
Unawake launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on an unspecified date. It can be wishlisted on Steam as well.
