Tomonobu Itagaki today announced that the first title from his Valhalla Game Studios will be revealed at E3. No details were hinted at, and Itagaki’s previous comments have given no solid impression as to what the project may be, other than suggesting that it won’t be a fighting game because he considers the genre perfected in Dead or Alive 4.
“Our motivation was always to come up with a project from scratch, to gather together and work together as comrades, and to create something that all of you gamers can enjoy. It was for this simple goal that we decided to go independent,” writes Itagaki. “In the past, I created four unique games – Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, DOA Xtreme, and NG Dragon Sword. Thus, this announcement will be the fifth all-new project in my lifetime. I don’t know if that number is large or small, but I know as a fact that every one of these announcements was a presentation of a new gaming paradigm from me to all of you. This time, it is no different. Details will be coming soon, so please look forward to hearing from me.”
“My heart pounds with anticipation every time I make these announcements. It’s not something one can get used to – complacency is never an option for me,” Itagaki added.
