Take your time
It’s time to record in Japanese studios at the end of the year, through Famitsu’s series of annual interviews. So far I’ve learned vague plans for both Platinum and Square Enix, but the Atlus part of the check-in is fascinating in itself.
Famitsu caught up with three of the leading Atlus developers, all with different goals. Shinjirou Takata, producer at Shin Megami Tensei series, is very much down to earth in the future Shin Megami Tensei V. Their key word for 2021 is “think outside the box” (this series and The person, usually), and he and his team are “working hard on development”, although we will have to “wait a little longer” for it to materialize. Take your time!
As for Katsura Hashino (who deals with almost everything at Atlus, including both franchises mentioned above), he will focus on “silence” in 2021 and implies that the impact of the current pandemic on game development has caused he and his team to be more focused. Even so, he would like to “announce the title [they’re] developing as soon as possible “, which is a” fantasy RPG “project.
Kazuhisa Wada (chief designer and occasional director / producer for The person games) is fully focused The person it seems, and their project has been “constantly at work.” However, Wada gets the last word and manages to tease “interesting plans” for the 25th anniversary of the year The person. Vag! But promising.
