Square Enix is teasing another new title known as “Stella Prisma”. You can find the official website here as well as a “New Game’s Voice and Sound” video above, which is the “first public voices and sounds for a new game”.

Stella Prisma is not to be confused with Square Enix’s other teaser launched earlier this week. Some may have assumed it was an April Fools’ joke given that the page launched on April 1, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
