I also have no idea what this is

But I saw the key word "Mech". A little bit of Armor Core + Metal Gear Solid design.

VR game?

First thing to mind is some Front Mission style game.
maybe Xcom alike Front mission game.

Had the same impression.

Those gliders ferrying wanzer size mech into the battlefield...

Give us front mission. It's been due for too long. Rts or turn base I wonder.

Gameplay trailer. 3rd person shooter it seems. Nor rts or turn based front mission.

Before anyone asks, Shinkawa did not leave KojiPro. He's contracted to work on several other projects in addition to Death Stranding.

Also, Left Alive is set in the Front Mission universe.

& here I thought "Woahh Bryan Fury??? "

Third person. Feels like Lost Planet 2 setup.

The previous Front Mission in third person going around blasting Mech like Armor Core was quite a flop.. No offence. Wonder after all these years, someone will manage to revive this title.
