Square Enix Announces New Game With Metal Gear Artist

Square Enix has announced a new game and it has some big-name talent behind it. Revealed during the PlayStation Tokyo Game Show briefing, Left Alive is...well, it's hard to know right now. While the type of game is a mystery, we do know that that Metal Gear veteran Yoji Shinkawa is working on the project, which is exciting to think about. Shinji Hashimoto, who has worked on the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts franchises, is producing Left Alive.

Based on a teaser trailer, it looks like Left Alive takes place in some kind of world ravaged by some horrible catastrophe. The game is due out in 2018, presumably for PlayStation 4, and potentially other systems. We'll report back with more details as they're made available.

Other news from TGS 2017 is that Earth Defense Force 5 has a release date in Japan and Final Fantasy IX is coming to PlayStation 4. Keep checking back for more. We also learned that Konami's classic Zone of the Enders is getting a virtual reality version.

Keep checking back with GameSpot for more from Sony's TGS briefing and the show overall in the days ahead.
