A few tidbits about Zero Escape’s third entry
Zero Escape series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi revealed a few tidbits about the series’ third entry while speaking with Siliconera.
According to Uchikoshi, it will incorporate a slight rise in tension. This is “because I had a lot of fans on Twitter that they liked the sense of fear in 999. I haven’t decided how much, but I will up it.”
Uchikoshi also addressed the question of a returning character. He said:
“I plan on bringing someone back, but I can’t tell you who I’m going to bring back. That’s for both 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward.”
As for why the third game will take place in the middle of 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward, Uchikoshi noted that doing so is “interesting”. He added that it isn’t “conventional since you usually go in order.”
Aksys localized 999 as well as Virtue’s Last Reward. When asked if the company will be bringing over the third game as well, Uchikoshi replied:
“I do want to ask them! Aksys is busy so if they want to work on it, I would like them to do so.”
