MAGIC project has been announced, featuring Hiro Mashima’s character design from Fairy tale and eden zero fame. The game was called a “new frontier” for Marvelous, but no further information was revealed, including platforms and release windows. It is “diligently in development”.
Project LIFE is a role playing game. It is defined as a game that Marvelous has never made before, but still retains that special Marvelous style. We can see colorful concept art that shows fantastic environments that pay homage to the classics of the genre. The game consists of “sailing in the open sea” with a ship. This one too is “diligently in development” with no platform release dates announced.

Then we go to the rune factory series. We received the announcement of two games with the theme “East and West”. A video was shown of a game code called Rune Factory: Project Dragon which definitely focuses on an Asian-like aesthetic, matching the “East” theme. It focuses on the eastern country of the world of the series from which the characters featured in previous games hail. It comes with “much cooler” graphics compared to the cheesy style we’re used to. Dragons will also be important to the story.
Then we got the announcement Rune Factory 6, set on the western continent of Adonea. Again, no platforms or launch windows were provided for any of the games. I’m tired of writing “diligently in development” so I won’t. Oh wait… I just did.
