This was probably the absolute last thing I expected to hear this month, but it’s true. A new sequel toLufiawas announced today in Famitsu by Square Enix, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s currently titledEstpolis, (which is how the games are known in Japan), but unfortunately there’s no information available yet on what systems the game will be coming to, when the game will release, or if we can expect to see a US version.
If you have no idea whatLufiais, it’s a criminally under-appreciated RPG series from the SNES days. Often overshadowed by the likes ofChrono TriggerandFinal Fantasy, it combined solid RPG gameplay with some unique puzzle solving and a rather decent story. The last time the US saw aLufiagame was in 2002, whenRuins of Lorecame out on the GBA. A bit odd that Square is deciding to revive this series, but I’m certainly not complaining. Expect to see more details when the next issue of Famitsu is out.
