Arc System Works Co., Ltd. today unveiled Hidetaka Suehiro’s (SWERY) latest game project titled The Missing to be released sometime this year.
“I can say with confidence that SWERY is one of the industry’s most unique game developers,” said Minoru Kidooka, President and CEO of Arc System Works Co., Ltd. “We share his vision for creating innovative, genre-bending games and look forward to working with SWERY and his team at White Owls on The Missing.
Best known as the creator of 2010’s cult-classic, Deadly Premonition, SWERY is a 20-year veteran of the industry who has developed a number of unique titles over the course of his career.
Not much else is know about The Missing, aside from what little mysterious information is revealed in the announcement trailer. SWERY’s voiceover establsihes a clear tone for the game, however, when he says. “A missing person, someone who’s lost, or even something lost. Maybe it’s your loved one… or a place you belong. Do you ever feel lost in your everyday life? The Missing is for someone like you.” He promises that the game will blow your mind.
The Missing also marks White Owl’s first game developed in-house, developed by SWERY’s own team in his own studio.
