Neon Giant’s ‘Project Impact’: A First-Person Cyberpunk Game Set to Surpass ‘The Ascent’ in Ambition

by

Although Neon Giant has only unveiled one title, 2021’s ARPG “The Ascent,” it’s important to note that this team is composed of seasoned industry veterans who have contributed to significant games such as “Wolfenstein,” “Far Cry 3,” and “Gears of War.” Given their impressive background, it’s not surprising that the Swedish studio’s upcoming project is aiming to surpass “The Ascent” in terms of its scope. Neon Giant has now disclosed some initial insights about their next game, tentatively named ‘Project Impact.’

As a gaming enthusiast, I recently got the inside scoop on Neon Giant’s upcoming project, Project Impact, straight from the creative minds behind it – Tor Frick and Arcade Berg. These guys have a rich background in the FPS genre, and they’re eager to leverage their experience with this new game, which they assure us will be a first-person adventure.

First Details of Project Impact Revealed

As someone who’s been deeply immersed in the gaming world with The Ascent being an isometric twin-stick shooter under my belt, some might think our next project would be a continuation of that style. But here’s the twist – instead, our core team is returning to what we do best: first-person games. With decades of collective experience in this genre, it feels like a strategic move that allows us to showcase our creative prowess and leverage our key strengths. As our lead developer put it, “we’re going back to our bread and butter.

In a similar Cyberpunk setting reminiscent of “The Ascent”, we are returning to familiar territory as our team boasts extensive experience in first-person games. Our ambition is to create a game that will serve as a benchmark for others aiming to develop something similar, becoming a topic of discussion whenever someone else endeavors to create a game like this.

The World Itself Will Be a Big Focus in Project Impact

I must admit, Frick really drove home the point about how towering the expectations are for Project Impact. Berg took it up a notch by emphasizing the critical role the game world will play. In this game, player autonomy is going to be crucial, and they’re working hard to create an immersive, interactive environment that players can truly engage with. As we start to learn more about it, I have a feeling that the project’s grandeur might just take us all by surprise – in the best way possible. Berg summed it up by saying that as the details unfold, the scale of ambition for Project Impact might leave us speechless with amazement.

With excitement and a sense of adventure, we are ready to explore new grounds as we delve into first-person experiences. I believe that when this project is released, players will be astounded by the gameplay they encounter, as we plan to reveal more, marking a significant leap for our studio. The Ascent was a challenging endeavor for our team, but this upcoming project takes ambition to a whole new level. We are certain that people will be pleasantly surprised when we unveil more details about it.

A game played from your perspective, set within a captivating, advanced future landscape where you have significant control, is bound to pique interest among fans. Unfortunately, further specifics about the project must remain unveiled for now, maintaining an air of enigma around it. Here’s hoping Neon Giant provides additional details on Project Impact in due course.
