Publisher Ubisoft has put out a good amount of AAA titles ranging across many genres since they’ve been around; although one genre they’ve yet to venture to is the role-playing game. In this week’s Famitsu, Ubisoft executive director Alain Corre speaks of their desire to create an RPG; an RPG the scale of Final Fantasy.
“Our mission is to create hit games on the same level as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.” Corre told the Japanese magazine. “We’d like to see everyone in Japan root for us. Perhaps someday our efforts will result in a major hit on the level of a Dragon Quest.
“We’ve made shooters, strategy, sports, action, and adventure games, but not any RPGs yet. Still, we’re open to all possibilities. If we can get a quality team of RPG-oriented developers, I’d love to release one. If we have a chance to work with Japanese creators, then I’m sure we can make a game that appeals to the Japanese audience.”
