Sakaguchi not working on any big RPG games currently
Hironobu Sakaguchi’s last big game was The Last Story for Wii. He has since moved on to iOS and just recently released his first title for the platform, Party Wave.
It’s unknown what Sakaguchi (and his Mistwalker studio) plan on doing next, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be tackling any large-scale projects anytime soon.
Sakaguchi has expressed an interest in making “games with a small production team” and would like to “build up a good and solid team.” At the moment, Mistwalker isn’t working on any “big RPG projects.”
“Currently we don’t have any big RPG projects. At this time I would like to create games with a small production team and build up a good and solid team. I don’t know what will happen down the road. But that unknown is the life’s enjoyment, I think.”
This doesn’t necessarily mean that Sakaguchi has ruled out another big RPG for the future. Maybe Nintendo will call on him to make a game for Wii U some day!
