I really don't think it's appreciated how much of a powerhouse Analgesic Productions are. Comprising just two developers, Melos Han-Tani and Marina Kittaka, their work always manages to present new takes on established genres, or games that have become genres. There's both Anodyne 1 and 2: Return To Dust, which borrows from various Zeldas in fresh ways, Sephonie, an involved and conscious take on the 3D platformer, and now Angeline Era, a nonlinear action-adventure game inspired by the early Ys games and Irish mythology, which just got a release date.

It's been a while since Yoko Taro has made a game, hasn't it? That last public (key word here) thing he worked on was a mobile game about how Sega controls pretty much everything called 404 Game Re:set in 2023 (it shut down in 2024). Before that was a trio of Voice of Cards games in 2021/22, and before that the Nier Replicant not-quite-a-remake and also now defunct mobile game Nier Reincarnation.
