Genigods: Nezha Announced for PC, PS5

Developer Genigods Lab announced third-person action RPG Genigods: Nezha. The game is in development for PC and PlayStation 5, and is currently planned to release in 2028. Initial announcement media can be viewed below.

Based on Chinese creation mythology, Genigods: Nezha puts players in the role of the Spirit Pearl, a spark of life forged by the Goddess of Life Nüwa from the essence of earth, water, and fire. They evolve from a celestial artifact into the first human, crafted from water and clay, before eventually being reborn as Nezha. They are joined by legendary heroes Yi, the sun-feller, and Yu, the flood-tamer, as well as the Heart of Sacred Water, a sentient gift from Nüwa’s that serves as a companion to help solve puzzles, defeat trials, and learn secrets about the new world.

The game’s combat draws from Bruce Lee’s “be water” philosophy and Jeet Kune Do martial art. Players can condense water into a piercing armor-breaking blows or unleash it through a sweeping kick onto crowds of enemies. They can switch between ground and aerial combat with dual stances, use temporary mythic abilities, and find treasures to create unique skills.
