Square Enix confirms Kingdom Hearts sequel (again) |
|
Following today's merger between RPG giants Square and Enix to form Square Enix, the company confirmed development of a successor to last year's Kingdom Hearts. |
Reuters was also told that Square Enix will be releasing 20 games each year with a rotating mega-hit, presumed to be Final Fantasy, and that they consider the Kingdom Hearts franchise to be as important to them as Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy.
The company set its expected operating profit for the upcoming financial year to $157 million, winning several comments from the industry in the process. "The merger will benefit the maker of roll-playing games both in the short- and long-term," said Hirokazu Hamamura, president of Enterbrain. "The only risk would be the departure of the development staff, which is not likely to happen since the management is taking extreme caution in implementing any changes," he said.
Square Enix is expected to further reveal its upcoming plans somewhere between now and E3, as it gets ready for announcements regarding Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy XII ahead of the convention in May.
