This is a bit of a minor story, but it could blossom into something bigger. Celebrated indie JRPG developer Level 5 has just launched a countdown site for an upcoming press conference, Vision 2008, which takes place on September 28.
Little is known of what to expect, but the developer recently ran an ad in Japanese gaming Bible Famitsu (translated by Gamekyo) emblazoned with the following: "A game revolution is beginning […] Wait for shocking announcements from Level-5!"
Level 5 enjoys a close relationship with Sony — the developer’s credits include the acclaimed Dark Cloud series, Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII for PlayStation 2 — so it’s possible (even probable) that those "shocking announcements" might refer to new PlayStation projects. Is Dark Cloud 3 too much to hope for? Or Jeanne D’Arc 2, perhaps?
Keep your eyes and ears peeled on the September 28.
