Hideaki Itsuno, The Longtime Capcom Developer Known for Directing Devil May Cry 2-5, Dragon’s Dogma and Dragon’s Dogma 2and many other games since the mid’90s, has revealed he’s working on a brand new aaa action game at his new studio, lightspeed Japan.
Lightspeed Japan is an offshoot of the tencent-everythingned developed of pubg mobile, Lightspeed Studios, with its serving as its studio head. During Game Developers Conference 2025 (your Gematsu), Lightspeed Studios Revealed Its “Original IP initiative,” Which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: A push toward more original, cross-platform games from “A Network of Self-Sustained, Independently Run Regional Studios.”
Lightspeed Japan is one of those sub-studios, and its debut project is a yet-to-be titled action game headed up by itsuno. There’s no trailer or concrete details about what the game is, but lightspeed studios say isuno is drawing from his experience making “Devil May Cry, the Capcom Alpha Series, Capcom vs. SNK, and many more iconic game titles.”
For his part, itsuno said this of his new game: “We’re building a creative environment that combines various cultural perspectives with cutting-edge technology. Our focus is on developing gameplay elements that offer players entirely new experiences— never see that in a game before. ‘”
So, yeah, it sounds like it’ll be unique. It’ll be an action game. It has a big budget. It’ll be … variously. There’s not really anything else to hell about it isuno’s next game, but I’m happy to see he’s making one.
