It’s been a long time since Mistwalker Studios has put out a major console release. Over the past several years, the studio and its director, Hironobu Sakaguchi, have been focusing on the mobile market. While that hasn’t been a negative outcome, it certainly is time for the studio to release a new console game to its eager fans. Luckily, an announcement recently has put those concerns to rest, as it seems that Sakaguchi will be officially announcing a brand new console game coming soon and is set to be revealed on June 22nd in Japanese during a Famitsu livestream. The direct link can be accessed here.

There hasn’t been much in the way of saying exactly what this new title will be about, though we do have a few hints that this release could be the next major JRPG. In the reveal that is just a few days away, it was also discovered that music legend and composer for the Final Fantasy soundtracks, Nobuo Uematsu, will be a guest star. While this isn’t a definitive answer as to what may be in store, this does lead us to believe that Sakaguchi and Mistwalker Studios are embarking on another major quest to bring gamers a new and beautiful story to enjoy. Hopefully during the announcement, Mistwalker studios will reveal which consoles will be included in the game’s release, but it may be a while.
