Mistwalker, the developer of titles such as Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, has been fairly quiet over the last few months. However, company president Hironobu Sakaguchi posted a new blog update yesterday and very briefly spoke about his new project:

“I am working hard on a new project.
Now we are being rushed into the “finishing” stage.
No matter what, I will make it really good….”

We haven’t heard a peep about what Mistwalker has actually been working on. However, seeing as how the game is at reaching a significant point in development, it’s possible that we’ll hear something about it soon.
