Project Awakening is Not Cancelled; Developer is “Working Hard Behind the Scenes”

In 2021, we commented on the development of Cygames’ Project Awakening and how Granblue Fantasy: Relink wasn’t the only action RPG taking a while to cook. Fast-forward to 2024 and while Relink has done well for itself, the former is still nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, the development team updated fans on Twitter, assuring them that the game hasn’t been cancelled.

“We are working hard behind the scenes to bring you the best experience possible. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.” It could mean a new trailer or updates at upcoming showcases like the Summer Game Fest showcase, though time will tell. Announced in 2016 for PS4, Project Awakening is a fantasy action RPG developed on Cygames’ Cyllista Game Engine. Given the time that’s passed, a PS5 version wouldn’t be out of the question.

The last gameplay trailer is from 2018, showcasing a medieval-looking warrior battling a giant monster. South Korea’s GRAC rated Project Awakening: Arise in February 2019, while a demo video of the engine emerged two years later, but there haven’t been any other updates till now. Stay tuned in the meantime.

Hello, our team has some important messages for you: 1. Our game has not been cancelled! 2. We are working hard behind the scenes to bring you the best experience possible. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months. Thank you for your continued support!"
