The creator of the Final Fantasy series, Hironobu Sakaguchi, has stated that he will be announcing a new video game in 2017.
Hironobu Sakaguchi confirmed this during an interview with 4Gamer. He didn’t say much other than “stay tuned” for more details.
Since the game will be announced in 2017, there’s a chance the release date could be in 2018 or beyond. RPGs usually take a long time to develop depending on how much content is added to them.
Outside of the Final Fantasy series, Hironobu Sakaguchi has been responsible for the likes of Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and tons of other video games.
The Last Story for the original Wii is the last console video game he worked on. The latest game he worked in entirely was Terra Battle for iOS and Android.
With the success of Final Fantasy XV, hopefully he’s planning on releasing something big for consoles and PC. It will be disappointing if the new game is for mobile devices only.
