It was announced on Tuesday that Square Enix officially launched a new studio named Studio Istolia. The studio is based in Tokyo with a new RPG project currently in development.
The new project is given the tentative title: “Project Prelude Rune.” The game production will be headed by former Tales producer and brand manager Hideo Baba. Below is a short description of the game as described by Square Enix:
The project aims to build a new RPG with a new fantasy: unfolding across a vast land teeming with life. Nurtured by the earth, the many peoples of this land dare to dream, fighting for what is just—and this is their tale.
The name of the studio was taken from the Greek word for “story”. Its goal is to “provide unforgettable stories that will inspire players in their own lives, and bring new game experiences to everyone around the world.” The company is currently hiring for the following positions: technical support, designers (for effect, motion, UI, character, and map) and programmers (tool, event, UI, and sound).
