Marvelous AQL’s Yoshifumi Hashimoto, who is the producer of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, shared a few words about what lies ahead in 2014 while speaking with 4Gamer last month.

Hashimoto said that the company has a number of titles in the pipeline, “so we hope they’ll be announced and available to the market soon.” There’s one in particular that he believes may “really surprise you.”

Hashimoto’s comments in full:

2013 was fun and busy on the daily, but it’s over. It’s now 2014. First, “Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land”, and we’ll be publishing “Valhalla Knights 3 Gold”. Some other things are being worked on now, so we hope they’ll be announced and available to the market soon. Because there are titles with considerable power, stay tuned! Amongst them is one that might really surprise you.
