Curious about the upcoming Square Enix game that uses Epic's Unreal Engine? It was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu, but there's still next to nothing in the way of details beyond what we learned yesterday.
Square Enix's new recruitment page for the project gives us just a bit more on the game. First off, there's some artwork for this action RPG. It features a creepy owl landing on the sword of a creepy guy overlooking a creepy landscape. Cool look, but I'm not feeling dude's hat. Overall, it's looking like Zorro goes to Castlevania with his creepy bird. Could be fun.
Andriasang says that they're hiring for all positions; planners, programmers and designers. That means that they're just in the beginning stages now. Stay tuned.

Also, new IP? New RPG IP? New RPG IP from SE that's western? I'm interested.
I want old square back, they werent a perfect outfit, but they were good.
Color me intrested in the game, or at least this concept art.
Squaresoft is dead. Long live the mediocrity of Square-Enix.
O Square-Enix you and your: LET´S MIX ALL THE THINGS IN ONE GAME!
I'm excited for now, but ill keep my reservations.
You are now a friend in my eyes. You mentioned Einhander... Oh that gloriously awesome overlooked game. I'm not even sidescroller let alone SMUP fan and that game was fantastic.
i though after Type-0 they would concentrate all the way for Versus XIII.
and now they announce multiple IP's and even some are working on it(FFXIV, DQX)
i mean i know they have a lot of people at the company but come on Square give us Versus XIII :P
Over all though the picture made me instantly think new Castlevania with a Sword. Lets hope Konami takes no issue with that thought...
