During the second day of Famitsu\u2019s 40th anniversary livestream<\/a>, God Eater<\/strong> game director Hiroshi Yoshimura was asked about the future of the franchise. While he couldn\u2019t say anything in an official capacity, he briefly talked about the fan messages the dev team has been receiving, as well as God Eater\u2019s importance to him: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you ask\u00a0me if we\u2019re\u00a0working\u00a0on anything behind the scenes, well, that\u00a0would\u00a0depend on\u00a0what you mean by\u00a0\u2018behind the\u00a0scenes.\u2019\u00a0If\u00a0you’re\u00a0talking about\u00a0what’s\u00a0on my mind, I would say\u00a0it’s\u00a0a very important\u00a0IP. For me,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0an integral\u00a0part of my youth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoshimura directed the original God Eater (which was released in 2010 in Japan), as well as the global version, Gods Eater Burst, and the 2015 remaster, God Eater Resurrection. He returned as director for God Eater 2 and its expansion, God Eater 2: Rage Burst, which were released in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Yoshimura also co-directed God Eater 3 alongside Wataru Atsumi and Ittetsu Suzuki, which was released in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

 \u201cWe\u2019ve been receiving all sorts of messages from fans expressing their excitement, and I\u2019ve taken those to heart,\u201d Yoshimura told Famitsu. \u201cThough I can\u2019t say anything specific, I\u2019m truly grateful for those messages.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0been seven years since God Eater 3 was released worldwide,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0understandable that fans are waiting in anticipation for a new entry in the franchise. When\u00a0Famitsu’s\u00a0spokesperson\u00a0told\u00a0fans\u00a0to direct their\u00a0requests\u00a0for a new game\u00a0to Bandai Namco, Yoshimura simply replied, “We’d appreciate that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
