Square Enix developing unannounced new IP for HD consoles that ‘aims to realize a next-generation action game experience’

By an international team of creators from all over the world.

Square Enix’s First Development Division is currently working on an unannounced new intellectual property for high-definition consoles, according to the Square Enix Japan recruitment website.

The First Development Division has a diverse portfolio that includes Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kingdom Hearts III, SaGa: Scarlet Grace, Romancing SaGa 3 (remastered), Romancing SaGa Re:Universe, and various other titles, and a large number of staff skilled in a range of fields from consoles to smartphones.

Under the section for the unannounced new title, Square Enix says that it is “aiming to realize a ‘next-generation action game experience’ that goes beyond the framework of existing action games, with an international team of creators from all over the world.”

And EA is going to develop next gen footy game too. Basically a non story

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I remember when Square did RPGs, too

A game developer is making a game?

Alert the press

 

[Ar¢tos]

Typo there. They mean next next next gen.

No, no, no.

They are "AIMING to realize a next generation action game experience."

So they are TAKING AIM AT making a next gen game on a next gen console.

This implies a certain level of expectation on their part that they MIGHT NOT be able to make a next gen game... on next gen hardware.

It say new IP right there in the thread title, come on dude lol. Developing new IP is arguably more risk taking than making a sequel to an old PS2 title.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

Is Yuji Naka involved? He's pretty good with Physics Engines to make a decent action game.

 

[VertigoOA]

I hope it’s from the Eidos branch and not from Square. They still suck outside FF14

edit:... sigh

 

[kunonabi]

Oh wow another goddamn action game. How completely unexpected from Square.

I meant something like it, obviously nobody wants a The Bouncer 2...the game is kinda trash, but i mean, at the time, it was pretty interesting....just like einhander for example (wich is not trash). Square Enix is not like Squaresoft, they used to dip in every genre not only "rpgs".
So yeah, a new action game sounds more like a new action rpg tied to something like FF instead of something actually new, i hope i'm wrong tho.

Square Enix should back what they were good.
JRPGs.
