The CEO of Professor Layton's developer📖 has expressed interest in making "erotic" and "violent" games one day, and I'm afraid of what that means.
In an interview with (translated via ), Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino ಞdiscussed his future ambitions for the company, revealing that one of the reasons he decided to establish his own company in the first place was because he didn't want to meet the demands of a superior: "I didn’t want to be told what to make by superiors, I wanted to make what I ꧙want, especially the kind of RPGs I love."
This is a joint interview with fellow developer and Grasshopper Manufacturer founder Goichi Suda, who is mostꦑly known for his work on series like Fatal Frame, Lollipop Chainsaw, and No More Heroes - quite the difference from Level-5's Professor Layton, Yo-kai Watch, and Fantasy Life games. "Creators who can release such edgy titles into the world are amazing," Hino says, referring to Suda.
This is when Hino ꦇreveals his plans to create edgier content. "If I were to put it in extreme terms, I would go as far as to say that ღI want to make things like erotic games and 18+ games with violence," the CEO says. It isn't as easy as just making a dark game though, as Level-5's leader, Hino has a responsibility to continue the series the company is known for and develop new IPs with collaborators.
From here, Suda asks Hino if he has any ideas for this kind of content currently, to which the Level-5 boss says: "I do, there’s an 'abnormal world' inside of me, but I’m trying not to go there, only making things from the righteous part of my 🧔mind instead. However, deep down, I really wantღ to visit that abnormal world."
This may not be a possibility right n🎃ow, but Hino hasn't completely thrown away the idea yet. "I want to go [to] that dark, abnormal worl♉d, and I think I will definitely end up doing so. Once I feel that Level-5 is stable, and I have the room to make what I want…I will do it," the developer reveals with a laugh.
Until then, we've got Professor Layton and the New World of Steam to look forward to, although we will be waiting a little while as it's not 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:due to release until 2025.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then. &nbꦕsp;
