Yoko Taro is working on a brand-new title with Square Enix as creative director, company producer Yosuke Saito said during the NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… first official live stream.

While specific details were not announced, it will be a somewhat indie-esque digital-only title. However, a special physical edition might also be released.

According to Yoko Taro, the game is “difficult to explain”—“a somewhat unusual game, I’ve created something mysterious that I have no idea how to explain or sell.” It is an “off-beat game” that Taro personally enjoys and wants people to play, but has no idea how to get them to do so. According to Saito, it feels both “nostalgic and new.” Staff at the company have said “it’ll definitely sell well!”

More information will be announced as it is made available (with monthly updates being a possibility). It was said that the next update could happen within the next few days at the earliest.

interesting. "Selling well" is a relative term anyway. It´s going to depend on the market they want to reach and the budget itself.

Just remake every Squaresoft game maybe Enix could learn to make great games for once.

I'd love it but can't see it happening.

Regardless, anything new from Yoko Taro will get my attention.

 

[Onironauta]

Sounds like some mobile shit

 

[UnNamed]

Give me tits, assess and bullets and I will follow you for the eternity.

 

[Aion002]

Hoping for the best... That gacha game they made was really bad.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

I'm in. Where is the pre-order?

 

[iHaunter]

Digital-only sounds like Mobile to me. Reallllly hope not.

I think by that he means, it'll definitely be even more experimental and niche, and will probably not sell well lol. It is digital only. He's probably just mocking his sales numbers in the past.

You are speaking the words of a true man of culture...and degenerate.

 

[Danjin44]

Come on SE, Automata sold well enough, didn’t it?

Give Taro a proper console/PC project. I want to see either Drakengard 4 or new IP.

Vagrant Story remake

By Yoko Taro? No thank you.
His style of direction and sensibilities wouldn't suit Vagrant Story at all imo.

Matsuno or bust.

Not very likely since they also mention a special physical edition.

I also myself don't want Taro work on other people's IP, his at its best working on his own series.

 

[Kuranghi]

In which order? I'd use the ass to absorb the bullets while I enjoy the tits.

It's going to be cool, I just know it!

 

[SweetShark]

Lewd Visual Novel. The desire of Yoko will become true.

You just had to say it...

 

[shenmue mugen]

Is Keiichi Okabe to Yoko Taro what Nobuo Uematsu was to Hironobu Sakaguchi?

 

[Clear]

Is Keiichi Okabe to Yoko Taro what Nobuo Uematsu was to Hironobu Sakaguchi?

Basically, yes. They've known each other for years too.

 

[Jeeves]

For some reason, hearing in advance that something is expected to sell well makes me less hopeful for it.

 

[Thabass]

Is Keiichi Okabe to Yoko Taro what Nobuo Uematsu was to Hironobu Sakaguchi?

Nope.

That would be Yoshi-P and Masayoshi Soken.

I wish Ask Jeeves was still around so I could ask it questions.

Nah thats Yusuke Saito I believe, the SQEX producer that always works with Taro. Taro looks a little uglier but nothing crazy or remarkable.

Yoko should be more ballsy like the guy that made Star Ocean/V.Profile who left SE because they stopped him from making an H game

Technically it is, Jeeves just got put out to pasture.

The only time he show his real face back then when he talk about GDC on his creative philosophy . Havent seen him unmask since then

 

[Daymos]

It's sarcasm. He can't tell you what the game is about and he wants to keep his job..

 

[sublimit]

If it's difficult to explain it will definitely NOT sell well. Not that i mind personally except if it's some mobile trash.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Well, he is weird, I like weird, so I'll buy at launch.
