In a bold move that has the gaming community buzzing, former Capcom director Hideaki Itsuno has announced that his next project will be a groundbreaking game that combines elements from his most beloved franchises: Project Justice, Devil May Cry, and Dragon’s Dogma. This ambitious endeavor, developed by his new studio Lightspeed Japan, aims to create a unique action game that captures the essence of these iconic titles while introducing innovative gameplay mechanics.

Glen Schofield, the visionary behind iconic titles like Dead Space, has recently shared his struggles in securing funding for his next project, hinting that he may have directed his last game. In a candid LinkedIn post, he revealed that despite a promising new horror concept developed with his daughter, financial backing has become increasingly elusive, with budget expectations plummeting from $17 million to as low as $2-5 million. This situation highlights a growing concern in the gaming industry: the challenges of funding AAA projects.

Subnautica 2’s development has taken a tumultuous turn, with former developers launching a lawsuit against publisher Krafton amidst accusations of project abandonment. The departure of key leadership from Unknown Worlds, including CEO Ted Gill and creative director Charlie Cleveland, has left fans and industry insiders questioning the future of this highly anticipated sequel. Kraftons claims of betrayal and confusion within the project have only added fuel to the fire, leading to a significant delay in the games release to 2026.
