A slew of 3DS titles from Hudson are no longer in development according to Famitsu. So far, Omega Five, Bonk and Bomberman have all been confirmed to be cancelled titles. It is certainly possible that there are additional Hudson projects that have also been cancelled, though only three have been reported thus far.
This week’s Famitsu has revealed a new entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series. More specifically, Atlus is working on a follow-up to the 2009 hit Devil Survivor.
There is one odd detail about the Devil Survivor 2 announcement. Famitsu lists the game as a DS release. One would think that Atlus would be making the title for the 3DS – especially since the company has two mystery SMT projects in the works in addition to the recently revealed Devil Survivor Overclocked.
In any case, the first scan of the title is already available, which you can check out above. Check back on the site for the first round of information later tonight.
