Hmmm...after the Xbox event. Which screams to me that they will have another game to announce during the event. Just a theory.

Wait, Square has an event tomorrow too?

First time hearing it too lol. As a long time fan of Square, I will keep an eye on it.

What the hell is "Balan Company"?

Is the world Balan missing the letters C& E or something?

What a pretty terrible name without context right now.

No more The Quiet Man or Left Alive please.

Always best to temper expectations when it comes to Square Enix announcements imo.

Agreed. Left Alive is the worst game of this generation, and it's a Square Enix game no matter if it was outsourced or not. It had their name attached to it.

Nope

The balamb company would have been better

I tried to Google the location of their "Balan Company" studio and I can't find it? Is it just another division within their Japan headquarters? Is it even another studio?

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Timing seems too coincidental. Perhaps the XSX version will be demonstrated?

Balan Company is a studio under Square Enix with a focus on making "action games," which will bring in in-house and external developers.

Apparently the "company" moniker means a "a company of actors" and not like, a business company. Glad to see SE trying something new-ish.
