HNNNNNNNNG!
Those wily folks at XSEED are up to no good again, craftily teasing the Internet with crafty teasers.
The localization studio shared a New Year’s card viaFacebookyesterday, one that foreshadows a handful of unannounced projects the publisher ostensibly has in the pipeline. Of course, the Internet is already hard at work trying to solve the mystery behind the silhouetted images.
Some intrepid souls atNeoGAFare poring over artwork from just about every niche Japanese game under the sun, beginning with the usual suspects, such as brands owned by XSEED’s parent company Marvelous and their frequent partner Nihon Falcom.
It helps that part of this multi-headed cat is already out of the bag, as XSEED recentlylet slipa bunch of new domain registrations. Those sites indicate the group is handlingCorpse Party: Blood Drive,Xanadu Next, andLord of Magna, all of which seem right up the studio’s alley.
A domain for “Trails of Cold Steel,” which sounds like a subtitle fromThe Legend of Heroesseries, has also manifest online. However, that particular name doesn’t correlate with any of the existing Japanese monikers. Title changes are definitely a part of the localization business, though.
One of the silhouettes seems to match up with a face fromLord of Magna, while another appears to come fromYs: The Ark of Napishtim, which previously released on PlayStation 2, PSP, and Windows PC. I’ll speculate moreSenran Kagurais on the way and hopeIA/VT Colorfulis in tow.
[Update:Another silhouette is thought to be fromOnechanbara Z: Kagura with Nonono.]
