Luminous Productions has posted around 20 jobs offer in the effort to staff up for a brand new Square Enix intellectual property to be published on PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox. It’s the studio that completely rebuilt Final Fantasy XV.

The project doesn’t really come as a surprise, since Hajime Tabata, Final Fantasy XV mastermind, has already said in the past that he would be making a new IP for the future systems after ending his work on the latest entry in the long-standing RPG franchise.

The title is being referred as “high-end AAA console game project”, “a world-class large-scale game that everyone [knows or will get to know]”, but also “a chance to touch the latest technology” because “investigate, research, and develop core features of the next generation Luminous Engine”.

In synthesis, the developer is looking into building a new iteration of the Luminous Engine that has brilliantly powered Final Fantasy XV, and while doing so is setting the ground for a new IP based on it for next generation consoles.

This engine could stand as a robust foundation for future titles to come, given the reception to the Final Fantasy XV entry. Fans are eager to see what other mediums the studio could explore in the future, and how the Final Fantasy series will expand with this new engine actively being used.

Considering the developer is still staffing up, it’s difficult to imagine that the game is dropping anytime soon or being worked on as a cross-gen title. We don’t expect to hear any confirmation about the project for the next several years, and we doubt there will be much else to discuss until the studio is ready to present something to fans. We can’t rule anything out at this stage, and there’s still a chance it will also come on Xbox One and PS4 in a couple of years.
