New "When They Cry" title will enter development in 2017. Yes, seriously. Someone fucking hold me

[Funyarinpa]

Translation from Reddit:

"Yesterday, I heard from the personal that there were a lot of Umineko fans at the comiket booth... For seeing that much people cosplaying our characters even in the middle of the winter, I would like to thank you. The development for the next game from the "when they cry" series is scheduled to start in 2017. It is expected that this game will be completely different compared to "Higurashi" and "Umineko". I wish you a happy new year."

This is real. This is happening. WTC5 is happening.

Oh shit. Someone hold me. It has been years. Oh shit. O H S H I T. O H. S H I T.

The hype is real.

So still probably won't happen until 2018? I don't know how long development usually takes for Ryuukishi, anyone know?

Though the histories of umineko and higurashi are very good to my taste, i always sense some incongruity reading ryu novels.

Lets see if with this completly different title that sense will broke off.

So which animal will it be this time? Elephants?

No, it will be artists, when they realise Ryu just wants to "draw" everything himself again.

Hey Funya remember what happened last time you were hyped about a future installment of a series you like after years without any news?

I don't get the joke, but I get it is a joke

It would be perfect if MG would work with Ryukishi this time and aim to release it both in English and Japanese at the same time :/

Thanks! Funny fact: I also hyped ZTD a lot and it was really a shit.

Jesus, Funya, you should probably hype things like Sakura games instead.

Knowing Funya, if he does that, Sakura games will turn out just great.

See you in 10 years when a rerelease with actual watchable graphics comes out.

Speaking for Umineko (haven't read the latter half of Higurashi since I'm waiting for the retranslation): It has one of the most varied (150+ tracks!) but consistently amazing soundtracks in the genre, its characters are wonderfully fleshed out, and the whole thing is one hell of a roller coaster (it makes you feel everything from peace to solitude to confusion to terror) overall, the story has layers upon layers of themes and possible interpretation, and you have some top-notch mysteries in it to boot. It just excels at everything it does.

With both Alchemist and Kaga Create dead? Yeah, I don't think so - there's no one to save us this time.
