Level-5, the Japanese developer behind the Dark Cloud series, Dragon Quest VIII, Rogue Galaxy, the Professor Layton franchise and – most recently – the surprise-hit PS3-exclusive JRPG Ni No Kuni, is officially working on a PlayStation 4 game.
Word comes from Gematsu (via Nikkei Trendy), with CEO and President Akihiro Hino stating, “It’s still in the planning stages, but we are also working on a PlayStation 4 title. We might be able to announce it soon.”
What could the game be? The fact that it’s a PS4 game evokes three franchises (or would-be franchises) in particular: Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy and Ni No Kuni. The latter would be an exceptionally exciting prospect considering Level-5 was clear that if the game sold well in the west – and it did – they would think about doing another one. However, a new Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy would also be cool, as would an entirely new game.
