tri-Ace’s brand new RPG and first-time collaboration with Sega,End of Eternity, was recently revealed to the world viaFamitsu. While most sensible people are wary of anything to come from one of Japan’s most inconsistent and sketchy RPG developers, Sega isdamn excited for this new title, believing it to have real staying power.
At a press event in Tokyo today, Sega proudly proclaimedEnd of Eternityto be a “truly epic title,” and is looking toward supporting the game for the next ten years. It would seem that Sega wishes to join Square Enix in having its own huge RPG franchise, and for is looking atEnd of Eternityto do it. I guess they’ve given up onPhantasy Star.
The game is slated for Winter 2009, although I’m sure we in the West will have to wait a bit longer. Anything from this studio makes me tentative, but who knows? Just keep tri-Ace away from Sonic Team, Sega. I dread to think what kind of nightmarish vision those two studios could cook up together.
