Kobayashi’s new game will not be as difficult as his previous work, which challenged players with their characters facing death repeatedly. The new action RPG will feature jobs that you can complete, as well as a battle system where you can take advantage of an enemy’s weaknesses to easily defeat them. Currently, the main outline of the game’s world has already been decided on. A test version of the RPG will be completed by spring of next year, and an announcement about the game will be made following that. It will take two or three years before the project is completed.

Kobayashi was a veteran producer at Capcom for 27 years and now works for NetEase to lead the game studio GPTRACK50. He is well known for producing both the Devil May Cry series as well as the Sengoku Basara series of games.

It was revealed in the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu that producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi’s new game is a single-player 3D action RPG. It will remain in development for two or three more years.
