In a message to fans, popular video game soundtrack composer Yasunori Mitsuda teases a new project reveal coming soon. Mitsuda notes that the project will likely be announced sometime next month, in February 2022. Furthermore, the new announcement will be “the first announcement,” possibly hinting at multiple announcements in the near future. It’s unconfirmed whether Yasunori Mitsuda’s new project will be a video game or something music-related.

Specifically, Mitsuda said that “if they are fast enough (or if they are lucky),” the first announcement will happen in February. Interestingly, this is not the first time Mitsuda has teased a major announcement in a similar fashion.
