Looks interesting I don't like the new name though.
Luminous studios engine is lit,
Unlike unreal engine haha!
I know I want to play this game.
And what did they show? Nothing. Absolutely nothing aside from some basic floaty combat and the main character speeding around. I fail to see a reason to get excited for such a limp reveal of a new IP. I love the idea of new experimental triple A IPs, but you can showcase this better.
They revealed a strong gameplay focus, transversal looks slick and magic is looking cool too. The contemporary/fantasy combo is interesting in terms of setting. The OG teaser trailer was pointless but this is much better
I believe in their games quality in general and what they have show align with what I want.
It looks good. I am interested.
