VR version also on the cards
Blooming Japanese developer Mikage LLC has announced that it has signed with publisher Aksys Games to work on a mystery project for the upcoming PlayStation 5 platform, along with ports for PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch and VR.
Mikage is the developer formed by Ryohei Mikage, the former President of Imageepoch, who were the developer behind anime franchises such as Luminous Arc, 7th Dragon, Arc Rise Fantasia and Criminal Girls.
