Square Enix working on five new IPs

Square Enix's fiscal report for 2010/11 is out, and one page of the report titled "Strengthening Own IPs" outlines how Square Enix intend to focus on establishing "10 strong Intellectual Properties".

It outlines current strong IPs as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and Hitman.

It then points out that four of Square Enix's major five studios are working on new properties. The Tokyo team, responsible for FF, DQ and KH are said to be working on "Two Original IPs", while Eidos Montreal (Deus Ex), IO Interactive (Hitman) and the new London Wimbledon upstart studio will all contribute one new original IP each.

Wondering if the new IP for the Deus Ex team they mean isn't a new IP at all and is Thief, as it's no secret that's what they're working on next.

Now this is what I'm talking about, Bring on the new games! We got to Japanese games and Western games, fun for all!

I don't know how to feel about this. Square Enix's ideas for new ips, have yet to gel with me. We'll see.

Of course this doenst mean we wont see the regulars.

Draogn Quest X will get the grand unveil this year

[newhumanbreed]

Kingdom Hearts 3? lol if only our wishes came true.

[Si-Fly]

The "3" in that title probably means it wouldn't be considered a "new ip"

[downwardspiral]

wouldn't be surprise if all of them were for handhelds.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Only 4 will suck, 1 will be mediocre... Good news for Squenix! /jk

[phantomexe]

I'd bet some of these new IPs are for nintendo's new consul. You guys know how it gos mutiplat but a few to show off the hardware. Same old same old!

[Blaine]

How does the expression go... Biting off more than you can chew?

I don't think Squeenix ever heard it. How about getting your projects out the door first, and maybe making them NOT disappoint?

[Inception]

oh for God's sake!
finish versus and type-0 first SE!
you don't give any release date for that two and now you say you make 5 new games?!

shit, i don't understand this company again!
they shoot theirself in the foot many times, and they still want to do this again?
Wada is a sadist >.<

[Nodoze]

Wada is a MORON!! Chase that cash little piggy....chase it.

Watch the company burn.
