The well-known insider Nate the Hate, who has previously repeatedly revealed video game-themed news in advance, claims that Square Enix has made an agreement with the developer Mistwalker to bring the role-playing video game Fantasian on Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation.
Let’s remember that Fantasian is the game created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, aka the creator of Final Fantasy. In a certain sense, therefore, the creative person returns “home” after many years.
What’s new about Fantasian and when it will be announced
The arrival of the Mistwalker game on consoles would be expected for the current year, although for the moment there is no precise release date, and the announcement should take place during the Nintendo Direct. Clearly in this presentation the confirmation would only arrive for Nintendo Switch, but subsequently it should receive information on the rest of the platforms. All this always assuming that what is indicated by the source is clearly correct.
Let’s remember that the Part 1 of Fantasian was released on Apple Arcade in April 2021, with Part 2 arriving four months later. This role-playing game was Sakaguchi’s first return to the genre since the release of Lost Odyssey in 2007 on the Xbox 360.
Furthermore, this game also includes a soundtrack created by Nobuo Uematsu, composer of Final Fantasy. The most particular feature of Fantasian is the graphic style: the environments were in fact created with dioramas, created by Japanese artists who worked on the special effects of the Godzilla films, Attack on Titan and Ultraman. The dioramas were scanned and transformed into game environments.
Luckily we will be able to know in a few hours whether what is indicated is true or not.
