CyberConnect2 suddenly revealed at the asobu Indie Showcase livestream that he is working on a new RPG series. The announcement comes directly from President Hiroshi Matsuyama, who confirmed that it will be a parallel project to the others already in the pipeline.
No screenshots, videos or anything else were shown. The only thing that's been revealed is the title, Kuuga of the Battlefield. This title will likely be just one example of what Cyberconnect2 has in mind for the next generation. Matsuyama noted that the transition from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 has brought an improvement in technical capabilities that will bring improvements to the titles the developer is known for. Titles like the series Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Demon Slayer will require much more time and personnel to develop. According to President Matsuyama, it could take three to five years and one hundred or two hundred developers. For this reason Cyberconnect2 has a different strategy in mind.
Along with the most important projects, minor projects will be developed, intended for a smaller user base but developed in less time.
This is a common strategy for large development houses, as it allows for different teams to work on different projects and is useful for maintaining interest in a development house.
As mentioned above, for the moment nothing is known about the game apart from its title and the fact that it is an original work of Cyberconnect 2.
