Unawake Featured In NVIDIA Keynote at COMPUTEX

RealityArts and Toplitz Productions showcases the power of imagination while pushing the limits of technology

Development studio RealityArts and publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to announce that their upcoming action hack and slash, Unawake, is featured in the recent keynote address presented by NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang at the COMPUTEX trade show on June 2.

Utilizing the revolutionary NVIDIA Audio2Face technology, which translates recorded voiceover takes into lifelike facial expressions using sophisticated AI, Unawake is among the few selected titles spearheading this groundbreaking feature.

NVIDIA Audio2Face, a NIM microservice, is one of the technologies utilized in Unawake that helps the small development team at RealityArts, which consists of only two people, to realize their creative vision. It shows that even very small teams can achieve greatness, when unbound creativity and ability are combined and supported with exceptional tools.

“Thanks to tools like Audio2Face, we as a team of two can focus on the storytelling and making sure that the gameplay experience as well as the visuals utilizing Unreal Engine 5 meets gamers’ expectations,” says Ismail Kemal Ciftcioglu, RealityArts co-founder and Game Director for Unawake. “This is our most ambitious project yet and we are honored as well as humbled that NVIDIA chose our game for its keynote.”

From the very beginning of Unawake’s development, RealityArts set out to mix the motivating loot spiral of games like Diablo 2 with fast-paced, yet tactical first-person melee combat. Add to that an original story about a war between angels, intuitive controls and inclusions like MetaHuman or NVIDIA Audio2Face AI technology to achieve more lifelike characters, fans of action role-playing games are in for a treat.

Unawake will be available later this year in digital stores. Further information on the game is available on the official product page on Steam, where the game can already be wishlisted.
