Square Enix have opened a new studio called Tokyo RPG Factory to focus on making a new JRPG Title for consoles.

It is called Project Setsuna. Planned for global release 2016

Teaser

// Mod Edit:

This is the same studio we've known about for a while:

It's a new studio funded by Square Enix Holdings (which means it's a separate company from Square Enix proper), for the explicit purpose of developing JRPGs for consoles. They were hiring a lot of staff, so it's more of a start up than an existing development team from Square Enix. They're working on new IPs, and it looks like they're using Unity.

Is this a throwback to bad '90s translations or something?
EDIT: Ah, you fixed it. Very good.

nrvalleytime · Jun 16, 2015

Grabbed a concept art of Project Setsuna (spelling?).

Brain fart.

MatrixMan.EXE · Jun 16, 2015

Likely see more at TGS.

RPG Factory. Flattering company name lol.

"It's a brand that says Japan and role playing games and tells people exactly what we're all about.
Now let's go inside and check out the studio..."

Lionheart · Jun 16, 2015

New IP, no side story or whatever, console project, thank god! Looking good too.

I legit thought it was a Chrono Trigger game because of that clock in the picture. Then he said it was a completely new IP

Tell me that doesn't look like a clock on the left side.

Xord · Jun 16, 2015

SE had vision!

Lakitu · Jun 16, 2015

This guy looks so bored.

Femto. · Jun 16, 2015

Why announce something that has a placeholder title and nothing to show for?

So dumb, I hate when companies do this.

crooked spin · Jun 16, 2015

Thought it might be Chrono for a sec... still, looks promising.

Phamit · Jun 16, 2015

Looks like it is finished by 90%

Tenebrous · Jun 16, 2015

Concept art looks really nice.

Brain fart. Yep, concept art.

JawzPause · Jun 16, 2015

I was thinking all SE needed was a new IP and they delivered. Impressive E3 for SE indeed

Nirolak · Jun 16, 2015

I think this is that Unity using studio they were hiring for.

Blobbers · Jun 16, 2015

Let's just call them ToRFa.

Wonder why they insist on going on the stage if they're just going to robotically read from a teleprompter. This is beyond embarrassing.

Red_taiyaki · Jun 16, 2015

Looks promising, but will need to actually see the game before we can judge it. I mean, all we've seen is concept art after all......

Fou-Lu · Jun 16, 2015

Wish they had more to show, but sounds promising. I love that they made a new studio solely for JRPGs.

Setsuna you say?

SE confirmed for developing a new Gundam game.

Sendou · Jun 16, 2015

Let's see them deliver on that bold premise!

I think their poor little site is getting hammered enough already.

gamergirly · Jun 16, 2015

What system? Maybe NX?

This makes me happy. If good old days means Dragon Quest, then I'm happy.

They're even playing that music in the background. AHHH.

nelsonroyale · Jun 16, 2015

He looked nervous to me.

Gambit 1138 · Jun 16, 2015

I'm excited. Though not sure how in the world he can say its a 2016 title when all they have is some vague concept art.

Mister Zimbu · Jun 16, 2015

Square Enix bombshell - "We're making an RPG"

I would guess PS4, this sounds like one of the games Verendus was talking about

Pooya · Jun 16, 2015

I'd guess these guys will be making old school type of JRPG and small cool projects.

Soriku · Jun 16, 2015

THERE ARE TOO MANY FUCKING GAMES GAF.

FUCK.

Let's hope its not the same fate as Imageepoch

Kevinroc · Jun 16, 2015

I'm interested. Need some more information about this specific game.

Kresnik258 · Jun 16, 2015

RPG Factory. Hmm. I'm sure they're full of good ideas.

Like an Idea Factory, or something.

Seriously though, that's what the name made me think of.

BumRush · Jun 16, 2015

I'd kill for HD sprite-based graphics...

harSon · Jun 16, 2015

If it's coming to console(s), I'm going to assume PS4 and XB1.

yeah nervous... hes speaking an entirely different language than his natural one... i dont get people bagging on him for that...

Cocoa · Jun 16, 2015

Looks beautiful, but will need to see more. I believe in you, Tokyo RPG Factory.

Elfstruck · Jun 16, 2015

Good lord, we are announcing a new IP with concept arts.
