Square Enix President Yousuke Matsuda makes intrepid claims about the capacities of the PlayStation 5, he suggests great things for the publisher's next-generation Project Athia game.

According to the director of Square Enix, the PlayStation 5 can offer images and graphics similar to those of a current PC Gamer. Well, not similar, but almost identical…. Matsuda says the PS5 is capable of offering ray traced lighting effects that are essentially the same as those found in PC games. In a recent interview with Toyo Keizai Plus, the company's president Yousuke Matsuda says that the PlayStation 5 has the best console technology and discusses how his team is using the technology to build Project Athia, the only PS5 game announced by the editor. The power and architecture of the PS5 could finally unleash the immense power of the Luminous Engine, which is part of its new graphics engine. The Athia Project may use dynamic lighting with day-to-night cycles and real-time light reflections and shadows in conjunction with ray tracing to deliver next-generation visual images.

"The PS5 dramatically improves video technology, with the implementation of ray tracing technology that reflects light. Compared to what you see on the PC, it's almost identical, "said Matsuda.

"The Project Athia game (working title), to be released for PS5, is an open-world game where users can freely move around the game world."
