Square Enix has announced today the establishment of Luminous Productions, a Tokyo-based studio led by COO and head of studio Hajime Tabata, who also directed Final Fantasy XV. The studio was built with the express purpose of developing brand new AAA titles as well as “bringing innovative games and other entertainment content to a global audience.”
Not only will the studio be helmed by Tabata, but he will also be bringing other staff from the creative team behind Final Fantasy XV. As it stands, the official website for the studio is up now, but doesn’t list much beyond some thoughtful and inspirational quotes about creation and philosophy. According to the company, an official announcement will be made in mid-2018 regarding what the new project for the team will be, so make sure to stay tuned for any announcements.
