EA Partners’ David DeMartini has indicated that Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami’s forthcoming horror collaboration may get a formal reveal at this year’s Tokyo Game Show in September.
Speaking during a chinwag with Eurogamer, DeMartini stressed that it was important for EA not to attempt to westernise Suda’s work, revealing the Japanese dev has been given all the creative freedom he needs for the project.
“We’ve allowed [Suda] the opportunity to fully explore his creativity,” he said. “The key thing is not for us to tone down Suda or try and westernise Suda, but to try and make sure the game gets broad enough exposure that more people appreciate it.”
Crucially, however, when quizzed by Eurogamer if a Japanese September reveal for the game made sense and was a possibility, DeMartini replied, “Yes.” Furthermore, when Suda himself was quizzed about the game’s unveiling during an event last week, the Japanese dev replied: “I’m not sure. But of course, please come to Tokyo.”
If that wasn’t enough fuel for the fire, EA will be hosting a special showcase event just before TGS, where it is expected to lift the lid on several new projects. Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.
