Overview
China‑based studio Genigods Lab has unveiled Genigods: Nezha, an Unreal Engine 5‑powered triple‑A action title slated for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Release Window
The game is targeting a 2028 launch window, with plans for PS5 Pro enhancements, DualSense haptic feedback, and adaptive trigger support.
Gameplay Inspiration
According to the development team, the combat system draws from titles such as God of War, Devil May Cry, Black Myth: Wukong, Nioh and Stellar Blade. Players will be able to switch seamlessly between ground and aerial combat.
Control Schemes
Two control modes are being implemented:
- Modern – a streamlined input similar to Street Fighter 6, allowing combos with a simple R1‑plus‑button press.
- Classic – a deeper system for advanced players, offering more complex combo possibilities.
Dynamic Boss AI
The studio is developing a dynamic AI for boss encounters, aiming to make bosses behave like player‑controlled entities that can react, predict, and counter the player’s moves.
Development Status
Genigods: Nezha is still in early development, and while the team is confident about its vision, a release before 2028 is unlikely.
