  • Unreal Engine 4 superhero game Project Awakened takes to Kickstarter

    Phosphor Games - the studio behind iOS hits Horn and The Dark Meadow - is working on its most ambitious game yet, an Unreal Engine 4-based customisable superhero epic called Project Awakened.
    The game may sound familiar to you as it's been in the works for six years. At one point it was called Hero and was in development for Midway before the publisher shut down leaving Hero/Project Awakened in limbo. Phosphor - comprised of industry vets who worked on such titles as Psi-Ops, Stranglehold and Mortal Kombat - went on to make a name for itself with its high-profile iOS titles and would now like to finish the work in began all those years ago.
    Project Awakened has an extremely ambitious hook where you create your own superhero. The closest we've seen to this was probably the lackluster X-Men: Destiny, but this looks far more open-ended with a staggering amount of customisation options. For example, you can make your character turn invisible, change their flesh into stone, move at super speed, charm NPCs to fight alongside you, cause those you touch to spontaneously combust, or summon a friggin' tornado. Your appearance is likewise extremely open-ended with its Saints Row-esque character creation tool. It certainly looks impressive in the pre-alpha footage below (note: this is old footage back when the game was being developed on Unreal Engine 3).
