Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda has revealed the publisher will have a big announcement in December. The company will announce a new RPG for consoles and it isn't a remake, according to an interview with Famitsu and translated by Gematsu.

"Actually, right now, we’re working on a new RPG specifically for consoles and it isn’t a remake," sad Matsuda. "We’ll start talking about it more in December and go from there."

"Just so we’re clear, we also still have a lot of titles in the pipeline for not just consoles, but also smartphones and PCs, and this includes games that our overseas studios are working on," Matsuda continued. "I can’t talk about what platform those other titles are going to be on yet, whether they’ll be on console or mobile, but I believe we should have a wide variety of games to announce after the new year arrives."

"These are projects that began after I assumed the role of president at Square Enix. We’re going to have a lot to show for both Japan and overseas markets."

There are three major gaming events in December where the game could be announced. The events are Sony's PlayStation Experience, Jump Festa and The Game Awards.
