Longtime devotees have been eager to see Kaneko return to his roots in a substantial way, and a recent feature in Famitsu suggests that moment is finally approaching. In a massive industry roundup, Ryoji Tsunoda, an executive officer at Colopl, shared insights into the studio’s upcoming ambitions.

“We are currently developing a console title in collaboration with Kazuma Kaneko,” Tsunoda stated. “This project is designed to immerse players in Mr. Kaneko’s unique worldview, and we hope the community is excited for what’s to come.”

While Colopl has yet to specify the business model for this title, there is widespread hope that a console release signals a shift toward a premium, standalone experience that fully leverages Kaneko’s artistic depth without the constraints of mobile monetization.
