According to leaker ryokutya2089, Sakaguchi teased his next work in a recent interview with Famitsu about the upcoming release of Fantasian Neo Dimension. Sakaguchi said that the next project is currently in production with only 4 programmers working on it and it is “a game that you would never imagine.”

The platforms in which Fantasian Neo Dimension would be released were decided by Square Enix. Sakaguchi said that he is not very savvy about the game market nowadays, so he thought releasing it only on PS5 out of the Sony family of consoles would be enough, but the company knew they game should also be released for the PS4.

Sakaguchi also said that learning that Mistwalker would return to Xbox consoles with the release of Fantasian Neo Dimension was a very moving moment. Likewise, knowing the game would release for PlayStation consoles took Sakaguchi back to the time of the original Final Fantasy VII release. Sakaguchi said that Fantasian Neo Dimension will be available on 4K on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Steam, and he wants players to be able to see the rustic aspects of the dioramas, such as the glue marks.

Hironobu Sakaguchi announced that he was working on a new game with Mistwalker in late 2023, and revealed that he was working on writing a new scenario in early 2024.

Fantasian Neo Dimension will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC on December 5, 2024. Fantasian is also readily available on Apple Arcade.
