“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.
Atlus has expanded its efforts outside of games with the Persona series, thanks to projects such as the anime, stage plays, and film. This is something that Atlus hopes to extend to its other IP.

Itagaki on Devil’s Third – working with Nintendo, using the GamePad, 16-players online
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki.
To start off, Itagaki spoke about Nintendo. He believes that the company loves games more than anyone and they love to play. Itagaki feels that working with Nintendo on Devil’s Third is a huge opportunity.
On the topic of Devil’s Third using special elements on Wii U, Itagaki teased:
“It is our policy to make full use of the hardware’s characteristics. I’m currently thinking along the lines of having something other than having you press down on the Wii U GamePad, and something that will make you say, ‘Oh, I see!’”
