Famed Japanese development studio Level-5 has revealed this morning that they are beginning recruiting new staff for a brand new RPG project with platforms still to be determined. The developer has recently seen a massive sales success in the new Ni No Kuni MMO for iOS and Android in Japan. Previous titles that the company has developed include the Professor Layton series and Yo-Kai Watch.
- A completely new project for Level-5, which has produced Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, Yo-Kai Watch, etc
- Looking for staff to shape new challenges together
- Would you like to make a game that excites the world together?
They are looking for talented individuals with the following experience:
But didn’t they say they weren’t going to release games in the west anymore?
They aren’t publishing games themselves in the west, but they could work with a publisher if they wanted.
They could have done that before but didn’t, instead they chose to abandon the west entirely.
The funny thing about Level 5 is they chose to abandon the west before releasing Yo-kai Watch 4 in the west, which was one of the my top sought after release before being canceled.
Whoever is making descisions over at L5 need to be fired because Yo-kai Watch 4 could have been their most successful game in the west.
Actually it’s been confirmed that yw4 English localize version wasn’t cancel, it’s like their last project for the west though.
