A small blurb in the May issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine reveals that Square Enix is currently working on an unannounced new action game.

Want more information than that? Well too bad, because there wasn't any given. There's no title, no platform details, no hint of a release date -- just a promise that the game will be revealed in next month's issue. There is, however, one screenshot provided, which shows a man from behind, as he's standing on what looks like a wooden platform. The man seems to have white hair, is dressed in black, has a long, blue scarf around his waist, and a huge, ornate broadsword slung on his back (kind of looks like Cloud's Buster sword from Final Fantasy VII... not that there's any connection). Further into the distance and to the man's left, there's some sort of natural structure, with what seems like train or mining cart tracks circling around it.

When more info on this mysterious new game pops up, we'll pass it along.

Dirge of Cerberus 2 - This time...it's also for money.

 

[Max Payne]

Except it's about a white haired guy with a broadsword and has nothing to do with Final Fantasy rite?

 

[Masamune]

I was working around to that, I'll have you know.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

*sigh*

 

[Alex]

SE has actually deemed its fans worthy of hearing some news about a game they're developing?

 

[Nocturne]

See, you people missed the key part. Mining cart in the background, train...Barret dyed his hair, stole Clouds buster sword, and is going on a rampage.

 

[Makoeyes987]

It's entirely new, meaning no connection to anything.... I'm sure it'll be something interesting.

I'm curious....why would they be so secretive? Must be some surprise or something they're planning.

@Notorious M.O.G.

Why the sigh?

... It's Cloud's and Sephiroth's love child, that's what.

 

[Purple]

Blah, not interested for now.

When are they not secretive about something? Seriously, even when they have new trailers they have to hide them from fans for months on end.

 

[Tetsujin]

"We finished the new promotional material that will surely get the fans REALLY hyped up about our new game!"

"PUT IT AWAY YOU FOOL, THEY MUSTN'T SEE IT!!!!111!!!11eleventyxone!!"

 

[Max Payne]

More images and details to be released next month.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh I see.

Hm.

 

[Ⓐaron]

It wouldn't be a Square Enix game without a monstrously oversized sword, I guess.

 

[Cthulhu]

Nor airships. Most likely a FF game, I wouldn't know what else it would be.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nah, I don't think it's FF-related.

 

[Max Payne]

Unlrelated to the FF franchise.

 

[Super Mario]

Well now this is somewhat odd and rare. I assume they'll use leveling up as always.

 

[Max Payne]

 

[namakemono]

Wow. Looks new. I thought it might be something FF-related, but seeing the scans, it looks totally different.

Hmm. I am intrigued.

 

[Tiefenrausch]

God of Final War.

 

[Channy]

*coughbusterswordcough* <_<

 

[Alex]

Square are just lazy trolls rly, unsurprising they couldn't think of an original idea for the sword given the breadth and depth of their barrel of ideas.

 

[Cthulhu]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

God of War's blades and the upcoming Dante's Inferno's Death's scythe are made of more win though.
