Earlier today we found out about the new Langrisser game for 3DS thanks to Famitsu. A few more details about the project have now emerged, via the magazine’s interview with Soshi Saito. View them in our roundup below.

– Extreme wants to make games from the Masaya catalog available on the Virtual Console
– Extreme also wants to work with devs that share the same enthusiasm
– Extreme has been leaning more towards making games for consoles since they feel that smartphones can’t match the expressive powers of a dedicated game console
– This led to the development of the new Langrisser for the 3DS
– Extreme wants to bring back the excitement of Masaya’s brands (popular during the ‘90s)
– Extreme’s philosophy is to make games for videogame fans
– Extreme also considered Cho Aniki and Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman [the prequel to Shockman] but felt that Langrisser would be the best choice for a revival
– New Langrisser will be a little different from previous entries
– This is because Extreme felt it wouldn’t be good to keep things the way they used to be
– Extreme thought about asking Satoshi Urushihara (artist for the previous Langrisser games) to come on board, but went with Hiroshi Kaieda instead
– Idea was to do something new
– Saito is also a fan of Kaieda’s
– Extreme also initially thought about keeping the system exactly the same as the earlier Langrisser games, but that has changed as well

In the latest Weekly Famitsu, Masaya Games has announced they will be releasing a new Langrisser for the 3DS this summer.

It has been fifteen years since this particular series has seen a new release.

Character design for the game will be done by Hiroshi Kaieda.

This game will take place in a world flooded with water and the story follows a young man who bears the legendary sword Excalibur on a quest to be reunited with a childhood friend  and must cross an empire’s army to do so.

This game could look particularly different from previous titles as thier seems to be hints that instead of the fantasy-style of the other games in the series, this one might have a more futuristic look and feel as well as a steampunk elements.

More details are sure to be released soon as we near the release date of this game.
