Developer Interview

Hiroyuki Kobayashi / Producer

"Sengoku BASARA" continues to evolve: - Moving into a new period, accelerating the speed of growth within the next version

- Could you tell us about the next installment of "Sengoku BASARA 3", slated to be released in 2010?
"Kobayashi"
Unlike previous versions, we tried to create the history of "Sengoku BASARA."
The central focus of the story is linking events to the Battle of Sekigahara. The main characters are Ieyasu Tokugawa and Mitsunari Ishida. With these two characters taking center stage, the battles between the other warlords will be plotted from different perspectives.
- Are there any new elements?
"Kobayashi"
I can’t really say too much right now (grin). But, because the historical period has changed, many new characters will be introduced. In the future we’ll be able to tell you a lot more about the new things featured in the upcoming game.
- Fans seem to be taking an interest in all the new characters.
"Kobayashi"
We really appreciate all the interest they’ve shown. Since we've worked patiently to build up this series, it would be great to see recognition of this series continue to grow little by little.
- Have there been any changes in the game as a result of developing it for next gen consoles?
"Kobayashi"
The new version will be for PlayStation 3 and Wii. Naturally performance will be better than past versions. Overall graphic quality will be greatly improved.
- Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to our readers?
"Kobayashi"
Our users have been a great help over the years as we’ve worked to create "Sengoku BASARA." We're doing everything we can to put what we want into the product, as well as incorporate all your ideas. We ask that you continue to support the series in the future.
