The announcement has been somewhat expected for a while, given that some players were reporting back in January that they had received a survey revealing the first details on the game.
The alleged survey said the game would feature a “sci-fi world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki”, “three-dimensional, dynamic action” and a “high degree of freedom in customisation”.
