No 3d real-time stuff or gameplay but Mikami-San's game concept of Ghostwire: Tokyo looks promising, like a modern supernatural ninja/ronin thing:
GhostWire: Tokyo is a new action-adventure game brought to you by the team at Tango Gameworks.

After strange disappearances hit Tokyo’s population, it’s up to you to uncover the source and purge the city of a strange, new evil. Armed with your own mysterious spectral abilities, you will face down the occult, unravel conspiracy theories and experience urban legends like never before.

Don’t fear the unknown. Attack it.

The developers of this new IP are the ones who did Evil Within 1&2. Of course, the scene transitions are amazing within their CG trailers.
 
The creative director of the game has left Tango Gameworks, from her Twitter.

“After nine years as creative director and art director at Tango and Zenimax, I felt here is one of ends of the journeys,” Nakamura said. “I learned from the talented people I’ve worked with and I respect. Contact me if anyone wants to work with me!”
 
I have to wonder why these people walk from a good job?

Indeed. I wonder about it too. She also wrote the story and characters of the game, wonder how will this affect the game.
 
Game is set to appear at E3 2020, read from Dualshockers:

Bethesda’s Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications, Pete Hines, touched briefly on GhostWire: Tokyo and confirmed that the game is planned to appear at E3 2020. Hines also remarked on the state of E3 this year, saying that it was never in Bethesda’s plans not to attend the convention. He also touched on the past history of the show and how it was thought to have been left for dead in the past only to then bounce back later.

Speaking to GhostWire: Tokyo a bit more, Hines also said that the game somehow serves as a parallel to next week’s release of DOOM Eternal. “I won’t say anything now, but it does have an interesting parallel to DOOM Eternal that I’ll talk to you about once we show GhostWire, that I’m curious if you’ve picked up or noticed,” Hines said. “After you see it, I’ll explain a little bit about it. I’m sure we’ll talk a little bit about where the connective tissue is between those two things.”

I wonder where they will show it now?

Read more stuff:

From Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango Gameworks comes Ghostwire: Tokyo, a next-gen action-adventure game coming to consoles exclusively for PlayStation 5 in 2021. Ghostwire: Tokyo will also be launching on PC. Tango Gameworks has taken full advantage of the power of the PS5’s next-gen hardware to create a stunning, immersive, and mysterious world to experience. Explore the streets of a city filled with spirits and mysterious otherworldly threats, with an arsenal of powerful abilities at your command. Get your first look at Ghostwire: Tokyo’s next-gen gameplay, captured on the PlayStation 5.

Face the Unknown and Save Tokyo

Tokyo has become a city under siege; overwhelmed by paranormal threats beyond our understanding. After a devastating occult event leads to the disappearance of 99% of the city’s population, only you stand between the loss of this great city and its salvation. After the vanishing, a strange encounter causes your own supernatural abilities to take shape. Explore a beautiful city that blends ultra-modern cityscapes and stunning ancient shrines as you purge the darkness from your home. Armed with a bevy of formidable, upgradeable powers, you will face off against evil spirits (referred to as The Visitors) haunting the city of Tokyo, several of which you caught a glimpse of in the gameplay reveal trailer above.
Spirits like:

  • Amewarashi: This entity manifests as a young child in a yellow raincoat. Derived from the powerful emotions of sadness caused by being separated from his parents, as well as his innocent yet mischievous spirit, this Visitor will call for help and bring forth fellow spirit when it feels threatened.
  • Shiromuku: Shiromuku is a traditional type of pure white wedding kimono, and though she may appear to be a bride, this Visitor is actually a physical manifestation of powerful emotions. This Visitor represents regret and strong feelings for a partner she was never able to marry.
  • Kuchisake: Inspired by an actual urban legend, the Kuchisake-onna is a strong and agile opponent, capable of closing distances quickly to get at you with her large scissor blades. Be careful if she asks you if you find her attractive; there are no right answers there.
Each spirit will have its own attack styles and weaknesses, so you’ll need to combine your abilities in different ways to suit each unique combat encounter.

But the spirits roaming the streets aren’t the only threat. At the heart of everything – the disappearance of the population, the appearance of the Visitors, and even your own supernatural abilities – sits a shadowy group wearing “Hannya” masks. Who are they, what they want and how they will interact with you remains a mystery, and it will be up to you to determine their motives and unveil the mystery.

Next-Gen Advantages

Tango Gameworks is using the power of the PlayStation 5 to help them bring their unique vision of a supernaturally haunted Tokyo to life. Not only does the cutting-edge technology allow for a new level of visual fidelity, but the audio has been kicked up a notch, perfect for Tango Gamework’s eerie Tokyo environments.

“We’re particularly excited by the possibility of players experiencing our modern, yet Visitor-filled city with 3D sound,” says Kenji Kimura, Game Director on Ghostwire: Tokyo. “This version of Tokyo is not a version you’ve ever seen or heard before. In Ghostwire: Tokyo, you’ll hear and encounter sounds that you normally would not hear in the city in real life. Our hope is that with the 3D sound, you will feel compelled to seek out and identify what is causing those sounds you hear.”

Kimura tells us even the feel of combat in the game is benefiting from the new hardware. “The player character’s special abilities have a deep relation to these hand gestures,” says Kimura. “Which are perfect for the controller haptics and adaptive triggers—one of the PS5’s new features that we’re taking advantage of. We can’t wait for you to get your hands on the new controllers and play in this thrilling, unpredictable Tokyo where you’ll never know what’s going to happen next.”
