A very long time in the past, Capcom launched a combating sport titled Rival Faculties: United by Destiny, adopted by its sequel, Challenge Justice. At the very least one developer has not forgotten and want to deliver the sequence again.
Again in 2018, on the top of the promotion for Satan’s Might Cry 5, I interviewed Hideaki Itsuno, who was serving because the director of the sport.
I requested him if there was another Capcom sequence he’d wish to proceed, and he talked about Rival Faculties, recognized in Japanese as Shiritsu Justice Gakuen.
This actually happy me, as the sport and its sequel (recognized in Japanese as Moero! Justice Gakuen) are my favourite combating video games of all time.
A number of days in the past at Tokyo Sport Present, I interviewed Itsuno-san, this time in his position as director of Dragon’s Dogma 2, so I needed to ask him if he nonetheless feels the identical about bringing again Rival Faculties 5 years later.
Apparently, Itsuno-san nonetheless has a particular place in his coronary heart for the sequence, albeit issues might not be as straightforward as simply getting it greenlit.
Thourghout all this this time I have been eager about it always. I also have a story in thoughts. That hasn’t modified. I nonetheless really feel like I want to make Rival Faculties.
However to be fully sincere, I am at some extent the place, since I am making so many issues, if somebody approached me tomorrow and stated “all proper. We’re able to go, make it!” I am not fairly certain I might truly pull it off. It has been 25 years.
A big period of time handed so sure, I nonetheless wish to make it. That hasn’t modified in any respect, however by way of actually stepping into it, I must rethink it.
Itsuno-san labored as a designer within the authentic Rival Faculties: United by Destiny and directed its sequel, so it isn’t shocking that he has a comfortable spot in his coronary heart for the sequence.
The sequence’ setting portrays an anime-style battle between excessive colleges, and after I first interviewed him, Itsuno-san talked about that the third yr was nonetheless lacking, which means {that a} third sport might finish with commencement.
At the moment, nearly 5 years earlier than its announcement, he additionally talked about Dragon’s Dogma 2 as a sport he’d wish to make. That one got here true, so I am not dropping hope simply but.
In fact, you must keep tuned on TechRaptor for the complete Dragon’s Dogma 2 interview, and in the intervening time, you possibly can learn my hands-on preview and watch some superior gameplay.
