Famed JRPG maker Atlus is setting up a new development arm caled Studio Zero to work on a new project.
Details are currently scant with more to be revealed later this week, but according to Famitsu, the game is a “fantasy RPG.” Above is the game’s only concept image that has been released so far from Atlus artist Shigenori Soejima.
Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino is heading up the project.
Atlus adds that this title title is not Persona, nor is it Shin Megami Tensei. Rather, it is a “new challenge.”

DISCUSSION
To be blunt: That concept art is really selling me. Non-sexualized female armor is my kind of jam and then it’s just a great design.
On top of that Atlus somehow became one of my top game makers without me even playing one of their games. So yeah, color me thoroughly intrigued.
