Following up on yesterday’s confirmation by Level-5 that their ten year-old project Ushiro is now planned for Nintendo Switch, even more early details on the horror RPG title are leaking out of this week’s issue of Famitsu.
As part of an interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, some new comments have surfaced that shed light on how the studio has approached reviving the game that was originally planned for the PSP. In the translation, Hino confirms that development on the Switch version of Ushiro has not yet started, but states that new creators at the company have wanted the project to see a revival. He also shares that there was a lingering feeling of Ushiro being a “ghost project” because they had wanted to return to the title but haven’t quite yet.
As an aside, Hino also shared some insight into a handful of other ongoing Level-5 works. He confirms that development on Dragons and Colonies, Yo-kai Watch 4, and Inazuma Eleven Ares is going quite well, while also teasing that there are other unannounced titles up their sleeve. Although he hints that the company’s 20th anniversary title will have an unexpected approach to online functionality, Hino clarifies that no new games will be announced before the others have released.
The next Atelier game, Atelier Rurua: The Alchemist of Arland 4, has been officially announced in Famitsu. Like the recent entries in the franchise, Gust is developing it for Switch.
