Lightspeed Studios’ Los Angeles division has announced Last Sentinel, a new open-world title set in futuristic Tokyo, led by Steve C. Martin of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption fame. It’s developed in Unreal Engine 5 – check out the first trailer below.
Promising a living world with “mature storytelling” and “sophisticated player-driven gameplay,” Last Sentinel is 70 years after rising floodwaters from a global warming disaster. Some parts of Tokyo have been submerged and are separated by a wall, making up the old city. Every above sea level is comprised of various futuristic buildings, creating a major divide between the old and new world.
Players control Hiromi Shoda, though her role beyond that of a peacekeeper (though her methods are questionable at best) is unknown. Per VentureBeat, the trailer is pre-rendered and doesn’t show any gameplay, so there should be more to look forward to in the coming months. Stay tuned in the meantime for more updates.
