Legendary game designer Keiji Inafune, best known for being one of the creators of the incredibly popular Mega Man character, has been working on a new title which goes by the name Yaiba. The former Capcom global head of production left the company in 2010 to become an independent game creator, thus resulting in the formation of a new studio called Comcept.
Apart from the Mega Man series, Inafune is also well known for his work on hugely successful games under the Onimusha, Dead Rising and Resident Evil franchises. Ever since going independent, he has worked on projects that include three games, three social titles as well as three books. But if Inafune himself is to be believed, he felt ‘something is missing; something people expect from me the most.’ This eventually led to him craft the new zombie game which is yet to receive any platform details. Even the teaser posted below fails to do so.
“Everywhere I go, people ask: ‘Are you working on it?’ ‘When is it coming?’ The expectation seems higher in the west. The expectation is clear. It’s for my next zombie game. There are countless zombie games out there, and yet, people say they want to see a new Inafune zombie game. I am flattered and grateful, for people associating me as a ‘Zombie Lover.’ For that, I must, answer to this expectation,” Keiji Inafune wrote in a post on the official website of Comcept.
Nothing except the fact that the game will involve ninjas and zombies can be taken from the teaser video. And there’s no word out yet about when further details will be revealed.
We’ll have more on Keiji Inafune’s Yaiba when added information is disclosed.
