Legendary game developer Hironobu Sakaguchi, best known for his work on the Final Fantasy series, has shot down hopes tied to remasters of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. After Sakaguchi left Square Enix in the early 2000s, he went on to found the studio Mistwalker. The developer's first two major releases after being established were Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, a pair of RPGs that were exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform.
In a new interview with Bloomberg, Sakaguchi said plainly that he isn't interested in remastering or remaking either Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey. Within the past month, rumors began circling online which suggested revivals for both of these Xbox 360 era RPGs could be happening. However, such an announcement never came about at Xbox's June showcase and has now been followed by Sakaguchi himself saying that he's not drawn to such an endeavor.
Moving forward, Mistwalker and Sakaguchi do have a rather large release on the horizon in Fantasian Neo Dimension. Set to launch at an undetermined date in Q4 2024, Neo Dimension is a port of the game Fantasian, which originally game to Apple devices in 2021. For this new release, Mistwalker has partnered with Square Enix to publish the title across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
