[Update] Square Enix 'Can't Kill Progress' Reveal Continues
Update (April 7, 1:05 p.m. Eastern): The interrogation continues, and now we have a new clue. The man in the picture above has a very unique-looking right arm. The next segment is scheduled for 3 p.m. Pacific / 6 p.m. Eastern today.
Update (April 6, 1:03 p.m. Eastern): The first piece of Square Enix's reveal is live on the Can't Kill Progress Twitch channel. Now we know what the "CKP" stands for.
Original Story:
Square Enix announced on Friday that it will be kicking off a three-day game reveal on Twitch today. Not much information has been provided, other than the title is under development at a Western studio.
No specific time for the reveal has been announced, but we’ll be keeping an eye on the company’s Twitch channel. Notable in the image above is the logo in the lower left.
“Project CKP” doesn’t ring any bells, but a cursory search online provides a couple of possible results. There’s a banking company called “CKP Project Services Limited” found via LinkedIn, a Campus Kitchens Project at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and something called The Community Knowledge Project that appears to be based in southern California.
The latter “addresses the systems and structures of inequality in which all humans and non-humans live.” While it sounds like fodder for a game (especially the non-humans part) and the information about who is behind it is sparse, there is a PayPal link to donate. That last item is either a really great touch added to a viral marketing site (it leads to PayPal) or this organization might just not be terribly good at sharing relevant information.
Check back with us later as we share what we learn.

Our Take
I’m not a big fan of long-lead reveals, as they typically tend to underestimate the audience. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the combined power of the Internet’s sleuths figure out what this is immediately.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
