In an interview with 4Gamer about video game developers’ 2024 aspirations, Yosuke Saito and Mariko Sato of Square Enix have announced that they are working on new, unannounced games for the company. It’s likely that they are two separate projects. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
For reference, Saito is the producer of the NieR and Voice of Cards series. He also worked on Gems Company, along with Monaca, which is the music production studio that NieR and Drakengard composer Keiichi Okabe founded in 2004. Meanwhile, Sato produced Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.
There is not a lot of information about the games, whether it’s announcement window, genre, or platform. Saito states that he’s going to work hard in 2024 and that he may or may not announce something new. In Sato’s message, she first thanks fans for the reception towards Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, as well as talks about Zack’s brief appearance in the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer. She then also says that she’s working hard so that she can announce a new title, and wants fans to look forward to the day when she can reveal it.
The two new Square Enix games that the two producers mentioned in their 2024 aspirations are in development. More information will come out in the future. As for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, it’ll come out for the PS5 on February 29, 2024. This will be a PS5 exclusive, with the arrangement ending on May 29, 2024.
