Hideaki Itsuno wants to announce a new project as soon as possible

Aside from hoping to announce his new project, so is Itsuno Seeking developers To help them work. Although there’s no information on whether Itsuno’s project will be a AAA game or a smaller scale project, odds are that it will take some time before it’s released, since it hasn’t been revealed yet, and the studio is just hiring more developers.

With Capcom owning the IP for Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma, everything Itsuno is working on will be new. Whatever the case may be, it’s hard not to feel excited, given Itsuno’s previous works.

Itsuno’s latest title is one that has received critical acclaim Dragon’s Doctrine 2. This action RPG was one of the best games of last year, And our review It states, “The experience it provides is completely unique, despite its many metaphors and familiar elements. Everything in the game comes together to create a cohesive, immersive whole that I find myself constantly thinking about when I’m not holding my controller in my hand.”

Before Dragon’s Dogma 2, he directed Itsuno devil may cry 5, It was a proven critical and commercial success, selling more than two million copies in less than two weeks. Our review of the fifth numbered entry in the series reflects how great it is, With our review Noting, “While DMC5 has elevated the series’ style and flamboyance to levels never seen before, it also contains a surprising level of warmth and humanity that doesn’t let its focus entirely on style overshadow substance.”

It’s hard to guess what Itsuno is working on, as besides Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma, the industry veteran has also worked on fighting games. However, if I had to hazard a guess, I would peg Itsuno Project to be an action game with RPG elements.
