Treasure is working on a “highly requested” title, it has announced.
The company, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, previously developed Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, and Wario World in collaboration with Nintendo.
In a Tweet, the company said “On June 19, 2022, Treasure Co., Ltd. celebrated its 30th anniversary!
“This year, the 30th anniversary, we are working hard to announce the highly requested ‘that’ title. We look forward to your continued support of Treasure.”
