Goichi “SUDA51” Suda has teased a new Grasshopper Manufacture game may be on the way.
In an interview with NetEase Games (via Niche Gamer), Suda hinted that the team is making “truly cool and all-new games” that may be announced “around the end of the year”.
The Tokyo-based studio was bought by NetEase Games for an undisclosed fee towards the end of last year, and recently gave an interview to its new parent company. As an aging Japanese GCSE and Duolingo lessons only get me so far, thankfully the interview includes English subtitles – you can check it out below:
“So the games we make at this studio… I mean, the really, truly cool and all-new games, we’re going to continue creating them, and I think everyone is going to be really impressed,” Suda51 said.
“I wonder when I can announce this…? Maybe around the end of the year…? I’m not sure… It may end up being next year, we’ll see how it goes. Anyway, I want to hurry up and show everyone what we’re doing.”
