‘The most Beautiful Battle in the World’
Japanese developer Cygames has announced that it is hard at work on a brand new mystery title codenamed “Project GAMM.” The new game is described as a fantasy adventure and will be produced and directed by Kenichiro Takaki, creator of theSenran Kagurafranchise.
In a short teaser in Weekly Famitsu,Project GAMMis described as being a multiplayer-focused title set in a steampunky world of magic and machines. Lavish illustrations from veteran industry artistMogmospotlight a variety of sullen characters, such as a magical maid. Early screenshots appear to depictDynasty Warriors-style mass battles, despiteProject GAMM‘s heavy PvP slant. No release date or platforms were confirmed.
Since Kenichiro Takaki moved on from Marvelous — following his frustrations with Sony’s censorship of theSenran Kaguraseries — the producer has been looking for a title to sink his time and talents into. While I’m in no doubt whatsoever thatProject GAMMmay also prove to be very fanservice heavy, Mogmo’s gorgeous early artwork is pretty darn classy. The new title, whatever form it takes, could see Takaki step up a rung on the director’s ladder in the eyes of the industry — something of a diversion from the cheesecake titles that are synonymous with his brand.
