Western branch:

Rise of the Tomb Raider (Xbone, PC, PS4)
Just Cause 3 (Xbone, PC, PS4)
Hitman (Xbone, PC, PS4)
Deus Ex Mankind Divided (Xbone, PC, PS4)

JRPG:
Star Ocean 5 (PS4)
FF7 Remake (PS4 first)
Dragon Quest Builders (PS4, PS3, Vita)
Dragon Quest Heroes (PS4, PS3)
Dragon Quest Heroes 2 (PS4, PS3)
Dragon Quest 10 (PS4)
Dragon Quest 11 PS4 version
Dragon Quest 11 3DS version (listed separately cuz different games)
Nier 2 (PS4)
Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue (PS4)
World of Final Fantasy (PS4, Vita)
FF15 (PS4, Xbone)
Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4, Xbone)
Project Setsuna (PS4, Vita)
Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PS4, Vita)
SaGa Scarlet Grace (Vita)
Dissidia Final Fantasy (PS4)

Other:

School of Ragnarok (Arcade)
Gunslinger Stratos Reloaded (PC)
Nosgoth (PC)
Lord of Vermillion Arena (PC)
Theatrhythm Dragon Quest (3DS)
Life Is Strange (PS4, Xbone, PC)

Mobile games
Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (iOS, Android)
Final Fantasy Grandmasters (iOS, Android)
Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS, Android)
Final Fantasy Mobius (iOS, Android)
Heavenstrike Rivals (iOS, Android)
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained Chi (iOS, Android)
Rampage Land Rankers (iOS, Android)

They must have 1+ billion $ in development. It's nice to see SE playing to the strength of all platforms: finally giving us what we want on consoles and pc, dipping into the f2p/mobile market with new IPs and beloved old ones without holding them hostage there. Their mobile spinoffs like FF Record Keeper are fun and upcoming titles like Brave Exvois look great. I'm liking this new CEO and think he's done a good job at reforming the company so far. This TGS was awesome and I haven't been this excited for their games(and with Japanese games in general) since the PS2 days. Bringing back the old magic and leading the way in mobile development, instead of doubling down on one or the other like some other pubs. Let's hope the games are polished and sell well.

Ah, edited.

AcademicSaucer · Sep 17, 2015

Im gonna go out on a limb and say that Nintendo probably has more games in development than Square Enix

Kouriozan · Sep 17, 2015

And I looooooove it.

DiipuSurotu · Sep 17, 2015

Yup, SE is one of the most prolific video game announcers.

Psxphile · Sep 17, 2015

didn't we just have this thread?

Mcdohl · Sep 17, 2015

You missed FFXII HD Remaster.

I wish.

Red Blaster · Sep 17, 2015

they just need to release them

RPGCrazied · Sep 17, 2015

Now releasing them in a timely fashion is a whole different ballgame.

Regulus Tera · Sep 17, 2015

Gotta wait for them to actually be released

Blackleg-sanji1 · Sep 17, 2015

I dont get the "they need to release them" bandwagon, the only games really having that problem right now are ffxv and kh3(this one not so much)

Virtually every major release from Square Enix in the past 15 years has been delayed at sone point.

Reveirg · Sep 17, 2015

And they have some more unannounced. Best lineup since Squaresoft's in 2000.

Glass Rebel · Sep 17, 2015

It's kinda crazy how much they seem to be banking on traditional games. I certainly welcome it but it looks like they're just throwing money at whatever their loyal fans would want

except for Valkyrie Profile 3 lol

u_neek · Sep 17, 2015

That list makes me tingle with nostalgic happiness.

Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.

Third party pubs? Probably not.

CrimsonSquall · Sep 17, 2015

Hold the fucking phone. Since when was Dragon Quest X on PS4?

NipplesAndToes23 · Sep 17, 2015

All that shit announced, but XV and Kingdom Hearts III still without a release date. I don't see how they're doing it.

Edit: Shit, I didn't hear anything about a Theatrythm for Dragon Quest.

The new CEO knows what's up. I remember when he said that Bravely Default changed everything, people thought he was blowing smoke. I believed in you, new CEO-san.

Every game doesn't need a AAA+ Final Fantasy budget and S-E is getting that. Hopefully we continue to see a long slew of games coming.

Psycho_Mantis · Sep 17, 2015

Also noteworthy......I count 8 AAA games

Exactly this.

I'm very happy to see mid-sized games coming out. A lot of my favorite SNES and PS1 JRPGs were in the "mid-sized" range. Not everything needs a FFXIII budget.

Inuhanyou · Sep 17, 2015

Yes OP it surely is amazing.This is something i never would have imagined from SE a few years ago...

MrCunningham · Sep 17, 2015

Square-Enix really has been turning themselves around as a developer. Shame that I have zero interest in Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.Dragon Quest? Maybe. Perhaps FF7 remake will win me over? I never had a chance to play through the original.

Bingo. I've said for a long time that S-E should make new 2D JRPG's again as low budget titles but I like this direction too.

The future looks bright for the genre.

Newtype-001 · Sep 17, 2015

Amazing. I remember just a year ago the amount of hate SE were getting. Incredible how things can change in such a short period.

Also just to note DQ Heroes 2 is also releasing on the Vita

Thorzilla · Sep 17, 2015

Christ. I hadn't seen a full list but that's ridiculous. RIP Wada, welcome Matsuda. This dude knows what's up.

They were sitting on a pile of highly valuable IPs that they left untouched up until now. Are about to witness a JRPG rennaisance? I sure hope so.

SE used to not even announce games people wanted. Now they have announced games people want and games they never even dreamed could be announced (Neir 2, SO5, ect.) its a major improvement. Of course they have to release that is obvious.

XV is almost a certain for next year. KH II isn't for a while still, and I figured that was the case at E3 2013.

LeonSPBR · Sep 17, 2015

Isn't Star Ocean V PS3 and PS4??

And it's good to see Square putting JRPG like that.

Shogun1337 · Sep 17, 2015

They can only do this because of the massive amount of cash they make from Final Fantasy XIV every month.

You have Yoshida to thank

Yes and it looks pretty good too from footage just recently released.

Timeaisis · Sep 17, 2015

OK but what's Ito working on

t26 · Sep 17, 2015

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest is already out

Tratorn · Sep 17, 2015

Unbelievable lineup, really.
They can make as many mobile games as they want as long as they support consoles like this. Just damn.

And it's not just the quantity, there are many exciting names on this list. Even if some disappoint when they release, there'll be great games from them for sure.

Really a turnaround compared to 2-3 years ago.

AppleMIX · Sep 17, 2015

All of a sudden a complete 180.

Like out of fucking nowhere.

jimmypython · Sep 17, 2015

i want those DQ games!!

Tratorn · Sep 17, 2015

LeonSPBR said:

Only in japan, west-release is PS4-exclusive.
But yes, should still be listed as PS4/3.

Bathrooms on the second floor I think.
