I Am Setsuna Developer Announces New RPG: Lost Sphear
Tokyo RPG Factory – the team behind I Am Setsuna – has announced a new RPG it's working on (to be published by Square Enix) called Lost Sphear, to be released in early 2018.
The game is coming out on PlayStation 4, the Switch, and PC, and looks to play like a traditional party-based RPG, but there's an extra sense of mystery to protagonist Kanata's quest. With his hometown disappearing, Kanata and his companions must rebuild the world as they battle foes and explore the various locales.
The developer says the title's gameplay will build off of I Am Setsuna, including being able to adjust characters' placement during a fight.
Our Take
Judging by Joe's review of I Am Setsuna, hopefully Tokyo RPG Factory can continue to develop its own voice within the genre – apart from giving us a new way to spell "sphere."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
