Genigods: Nezha could be China’s next breakout hit, following in the footsteps of Black Myth Wukong and Where Winds Meet.
Genigods: Nezha has just been announced
It will be a triple-A action game for PS5 and PC, developed in China
This God of War and Devil May Cry-inspired action game is set to launch in 2028
China-based developer Genigods Lab has announced Genigods: Nezha, an Unreal Engine 5-made action game set to come to PlayStation 5 and PC.
The game isn’t releasing any time soon, with a targeted launch window of 2028, but I was recently able to get an early look at the project at a briefing with Genigods Lab’s Young Lui (founder and technical expert) and Erdi Yao (co-founder and creative director).
With Genigods: Nezha, the developer is looking to put its own spin on the tale of Nezha, a deity of Chinese mythology. Gameplay will feature a mixture of ground and aerial combat, with the player being able to seamlessly switch between the two.
Like Black Myth Wukong, the game appears to heavily feature one-on-one boss battles, and from the brief snippet of gameplay I was shown, it certainly looks stylish and free-flowing.
