Following up on yesterday’s confirmation by Level-5 that their ten year-old project Ushiro is now planned for Nintendo Switch, even more early details on the horror RPG title are leaking out of this week’s issue of Famitsu.
As part of an interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, some new comments have surfaced that shed light on how the studio has approached reviving the game that was originally planned for the PSP. In the translation, Hino confirms that development on the Switch version of Ushiro has not yet started, but states that new creators at the company have wanted the project to see a revival. He also shares that there was a lingering feeling of Ushiro being a “ghost project” because they had wanted to return to the title but haven’t quite yet.
As an aside, Hino also shared some insight into a handful of other ongoing Level-5 works. He confirms that development on Dragons and Colonies, Yo-kai Watch 4, and Inazuma Eleven Ares is going quite well, while also teasing that there are other unannounced titles up their sleeve. Although he hints that the company’s 20th anniversary title will have an unexpected approach to online functionality, Hino clarifies that no new games will be announced before the others have released.

This week’s issue of Famitsu has some pretty extensive coverage of Level-5 since the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Among other things, Famitsu reveals a new game from Level-5 coming to Nintendo Switch – or rather, an old one: Ushiro, a game that was initially revealed in 2008 and was supposed to be released for Sony’s PSP, but never actually came out. The game was teased as a horror RPG; you can take a look at an old trailer for it below:
That said, ten years is a long time, so who knows how the game has changed by now. We should have more information once the full issue of Famitsu is out tomorrow.
