Luminous Productions AAA game 'requires a lot of time' to develop

Square Enix-controlled Luminous Productions is known to be working on a major AAA game since November 2018. The developers were in no hurry to share news about the project, but in a recent Famitsu interview talked about the status of the future blockbuster.

According to project manager Sai Nakahara (Saya Nakahara) and senior concept artist Yuki Matsuzawa (Yuuki Matsuzawa), the game is being created with an eye on a global audience and, apparently, will not be released soon.

“Now we have little to tell. We have already decided on some elements of the game, but others are still under consideration, ”Matsuzawa said without any specifics.

The developer also recalled that the project is being created on the basis of new intellectual property, which is why some aspects of production differ from the previous experience of the team: “This means that the task is complex and time-consuming.”

At the same time, they are not going to drive their employees to Luminous Productions: the working day starts at 9:30 and ends at 18:00. According to Nakahara, such a schedule leaves room for personal life and helps to avoid overtime.

It's not the first time Square Enix has announced a game long before its release. Final Fantasy XV (under a different name) was introduced in 2006, and was released only 10 years later - in November 2016.

Luminous Productions was founded on March 27, 2018. Until November, the studio was headed by the director of Final Fantasy XV Hajime Tabata (Hajime Tabata) - due to his departure the plan for further support of the game was reduced from four expansions to one.
