Capcom corporate officer Yoshinori Ono in an interview with Eurogamer was asked about Deep Down. It was going to be a free-to-play action RPG that was originally announced at the PlayStation 4 reveal event in February 2013.
"I haven't been called Mr. Deep Down quite yet," said Yoshinori Ono when asked about him being called Mr. Deep Down.
"The original team is clearly no longer together at this point, but people might have noticed that we've kept the trademark registered, and it's not been completely given up on. Every year we examine titles we're doing in future, and we bring up projects to approve and move forward. There's not much I can say about it, but if you've noticed we've kept the trademark it means we haven't given up on the title completely."
"We did have the concept developed a bit further than" when it was playable at TGS a few years ago.

I liked when it was presented (also liked QD demo), but had forgotten about it long ago.
What a laugh. I remember thinking this could be a potential rival to the Souls series during the PS4/One era. So much for that. I think the chances of this coming out are pretty much the same as Resident Evil for the PSP Go.
I completely forgot about this game even being a thing.
It was launch time for PS4 and they had to throw in everything including the kitchen sink, in order to sweeten the deal as much as possible. Time went on and this project was left behind for some reason. I doubt it will come to fruition.
Bullshit. The dream is dead.
I hate when games are announced way too damn early. Not sure if the fact that gameplay was shown helps or hurts the situation.

Well, keeping the trademark alive is something at least... I was pretty stoked for this when it was announced, due in no small part to having just finished Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.
Sure, Ono, sure. This is why we haven't seen anything for 6 years. I think he might be a compulsive liar, but this could be an issue of working at Capcom.
