Austin-based digital media giant Rooster Teeth has unveiled the trailer for gen:LOCK, a forthcoming series that the company calls its most expansive animated production since RWBY.
First announced during the RTX conference in Austin last year, gen:LOCK takes its inspiration from the “mecha” genre, which features robots that are controlled by people. The show follows a daring fleet of pilots who operate giant, weaponized robot bodies on the losing side of a global war. The newest recruit to the classified team, a pilot named Julian Chase who hails from Brooklyn, is facing a trial by fire, according to Rooster Teeth.
Check out a teaser below. A release date for gen:LOCK has not yet been set:
