In the latest issue of Famitsu, Square Enix revealed that a new action RPG powered by the Unreal Engine is in the works, and it won’t be another Final Fantasy or a Dragon Quest .
Not much is known about the unnamed title at the moment – only that the game will be under the direction of Ryutaro Ichimura, whose previous work with Square Enix includes development roles in both Dragon Quest VIII and Dragon Quest IX .
The game has a western aesthetic to it, with a few bits of concept art shown in the Famitsu article displaying European-style buildings and characters seemingly from the middle ages. Despite its distinctly western style, Ichimura notes in the article that the game is not necessarily targeting a western audience.
Ichimura goes on to note that the platforms the game will release on have not been finalized yet, but the team is aiming for a console release. Depending on timing, it’s possible the game could wind up on next-generation consoles.
Thanks, Andriasang
