Square Enix has today announced a new studio operating out of Tokyo to work on a new RPG currently referred to as Project Prelude Rune.
Square Enix established the new studio - Studio Istolia - specifically to work on a new IP. The studio gets its name from a derivation of the Greek word for 'story'... so no surprises in guessing what this RPG is going to revolve around.
Studio Istolia is headed up by Hideo Baba, the producer of such titles as Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata, who left Namco Bandai in the last year.
"The project aims to build a new RPG with a new fantasy: unfolding across a vast land teeming with life," Square Enix confirmed in a statement. "Nurtured by the earth, the many peoples of this land dare to dream, fighting for what is just — and this is their tale."
"The aim of the studio is to provide unforgettable stories that will inspire players in their own lives, and bring new game experiences to everyone around the world."
No platforms have been confirmed for the game just yet, nor has a release window been announced, but knowing Square Enix it's likely this game will make it to some consoles... if not all.
