New Mistwalker RPG to be announced this year

On Mistwalker’s corporate blog, we have learned some juicy information (well, not really), about a new project in the works from the development team. Here’s what was posted:

Planning to basically put importance on having seamless control of the overall direction of the game, mixed with CG spectacle scenes. Controls will have a bit of a trick to it, while having a blend of RPG-type strategy and growth. Behaviors based on interaction with the situation around you…wait, I’m not supposed to say more than this… (^^;

Sometime this year, it seems I’ll be able to announce what this new project is. During that time, we will try and post model artwork, behind the scenes stories, as well as introductions to staff who worked on the development. With all the different elements and staff putting their “heart and soul” into it, it feels different from projects until now, but in a good way. Please look forward to it.

So, it looks like another RPG game, but with what happening to your main character or party being mainly based on that of the interaction of the situation that is happening around you. Interesting….

Hopefully we’ll get a little bit more information at E3, but odds are we’re going to have to wait until a little bit later in the year before Mistwalker announces the new project, and puts out more information, and possibly some development screens and character models.
