Imageepoch has a new strategy RPG in the works, president Ryohei Mikage has confirmed. Mikage told 4Gamer that the game will tie into the company’s 10th anniversary and will be an “original” title.

Mikage’s comments in full:

“On January 30, 2014, we’ll be releasing Toshin Toshi for Nintendo 3DS. After that, we’ll continue by releasing SoniPro for 3DS, and we also expect to reveal a brand new ‘original SRPG’ as part of Imageepoch’s 10 year anniversary.”

“The original RPG, Luminous Arc, was Imageepoch’s development debut title. We’re just about to hit the turning point of the company’s 10-year anniversary, so we’d like to look back to our roots, and we’re in the middle of zealously developing a high quality SRPG title to offer you guys. Please look forward to Toshin Toshi, SoniPro, and the new original SRPG!”
