SQUARE ENIX: Project Setsuna is a brand new RPG from a brand new studio

MCV Staff 16th June 2015 Business News

The creator of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts has announced a completely new RPG franchise.

"We are devoted to keep creating incredible new RPG titles," said Square Enix Holdings presidentYosuke Matsuda, introducing Project Setsuna.

The game is said specifically to be a ‘console RPG’.

"It’s not a spin-off or a remake, but a completely new series," Matsuda added.

It’s also being developed by a similarly newly-established studio, called Tokyo RPG Factory.

Metsuda said that, true to its name, the outlet would focus on traditional Japanese RPG experiences.

Although the game only appeared in the form of a name and concept art, and was said to be currently under development, Metsuda told the crowd that Setsuna was outlined for a 2016 release.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
