Whenever I hear that a Japanese company is working with an EU/NA company my mind automatically thinks 'ruh-roh'. Here's hoping this one turns out really good.

Last I heard them mention the series, they were pissed that Chrono Trigger DS didn't sell enough since I guess 800k is a disappointing number for a port of a 15 year old game they charged full price for.

I'd be 100% fine with it if Kato wrote it. Better than getting nothing and leaving all those loose ends.

This is the last thing the world needs. With their track history for fucking up games over the past 5-7 years, are you sure you're prepared to go down this route?

Isn't this kind of non-news anyway? We already knew they are working with a western company (they even had a presentation on it). There isn't much of an update here other than a refresher

Isn't this old news? I recall reading on this very site that Square-Enix was supposedly making a game with Obsidian or some other American developer.

How did SquareEnix go about owning the Dungeon Siege series? Did they buy it from Gas Powered Games or something else?

Take Two used to own the Dungeon Siege name, but I'm not sure exactly how SquareEnix got a hold of it. I know SquareEnix published Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander 2 last year, so there has been a previous relationship between the two companies. Gas Powered is not making this though, It's Obsidian Entertainment.

I really hope it's that "Fortress" game that GRIN had started before they got canned. That looked like it could have had a lot of potential.

Square Enix was smart to pick up Edios.
Portable titles and Tomb Raider reboot are the only stuff I'm looking forward to from SE.

One of three unannounced projects might be Double Fine's new title because Dave is following Zack Karlsson, Vice President of Business Development at Double Fine Productions.
