Not too long ago, Virtuos announced some news that slipped under the radar. The developer has confirmed that it is working on both Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for Switch. This isn’t too big of a surprise given that Virtuos previously handled these re-releases for Square Enix.

Virtuos is also a good fit for Switch development. The company helped bring over L.A. Noire and Dark Souls: Remastered, and also served as the lead on Starlink: Battle for Atlas for Nintendo’s console.

Thanks to Justin for the tip.

Tomoya Ohtani, the series sound designer for Sonic the Hedgehog, is one such person who worked on the tracklist. Ohtani was responsible for the new arrangement of Bomb Rush Blush – a piece of music originating from Splatoon. Ohtani posted an interesting column last month that details how he settled on Bomb Rush Blush, the way in which he went about changing it for Smash Bros., and more.
