After a 27-year-run at Capcom, veteran game producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi established the\u00a0game studio GPTRACK50<\/a>, where he has been working on a mysterious new game for the past two years. Kobayashi is known for his involvement in the Devil May Cry, Resident Evil and Dragon\u2019s Dogma series, but it seems he\u2019s aiming for something completely different with the upcoming title.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to AUTOMATON, the producer reveals that the unannounced action RPG is \u201ccool,\u201d but not in a \u201cstylish\u201d way like Devil May Cry, and not like Dragon\u2019s Dogma either. \u201cI\u2019m aiming for something different to the games I\u2019ve worked on up until now. I\u2019ve even been told it\u2019s not Kobayashi-like,” he teases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hiroyuki<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But what kind of game is it then? Kobayashi makes a point of emphasizing several important aspects of the title, such as the fact that it\u2019s a single-player game. As GPTRACK50 is owned by NetEase Games, people have assumed that the studio may turn to online or mobile game development, but this is not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for genre \u2013 GPTRACK50 started out from the concept of creating an action game that does something new. \u201cThe main point we\u2019re focusing on is incorporating new features into standard action. If we only use what\u2019s already out there, the game will lack individuality, and it will be underwhelming.\u201d At the same time, the producer stresses that while the game will have pronounced action game mechanics, it will not be punishingly technical like, say, soulslike games. The title will be balanced out with RPG elements such as character growth. \u201cWith a fair dose of both action and RPG mechanics, it\u2019s a game in which you develop your wisdom and character to progress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that they have successfully made the move to Unreal Engine and gathered almost 90% of the development staff they need, Kobayashi and GPTRACK50<\/a> are working towards officially announcing their new title.
