This week’s issue of Famitsu contains an interview with Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka and representative Yukio Sugino.

Speaking about games in the pipeline other than Persona, Hiraoka teased:

“I believe we’ll be able to announce ‘that title’ soon. At the moment, we’ve even begun development on a title that will be released in three years time.”

Hiraoka additionally confirmed that a brand new IP is in the works.
