Three key members from the staff that made the 1998 cult classic Xenogears have reunited to develop the upcoming game World Destruction for the Nintendo DS, says Wired blog Game | Life.
Writer Masato Kato, character designer Kunihiko Tanaka, and composer Yasunori Mitsuda are all heavily involved in the development of the new game. All three are Square veterans who held similar positions on the staff for Xenogears.
World Destruction is a fantasy RPG developed by Image Epoch and produced by SEGA. It will be released, along with an accompanying anime series, this summer. The Japanese language site is already up with a few pictures, and the current issue of Famitsu also has screenshots.
The game follows Kyrie and Morute, two revolutionaries who join an organization out to destroy the world, where humans have been enslaved by monsters, according the Wired blog.
