Polyphony Digital studio founder Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that he’s planning to continue working on the Gran Turismo game series into the future, and beyond next year’s Gran Turismo 7.
The comment came in a rather unusual interview between Yamauchi and Masayuki Chatani, the chief digital officer of the Japanese arm of international accountancy firm KPMG, and CEO of KPMG Ignition Tokyo. Chatani himself used to be chief technical officer at Sony Computer Entertainment, and was heavily involved in the development of the PlayStation 3 during 14 years at Sony.

“Well, I intend to continue Gran Turismo going forward, which will be in the same boat as the car culture and automobile industry. At the same time, I would like to also do something different.
“I think that one of the missions of video games is to realize digital twins by connecting the real and digital worlds. On the other hand, I also think that “the reality that can be felt by humans may not necessarily be felt from something real,” and I intend to confront this question for sure.
“I would like to take on the challenge of creating a world where people feel more reality than the real thing, whether this is through Gran Turismo or not.”
