Square Enix announces new medium-term business plan – “Square Enix Reboots and Awakens: 3 Years of Foundation-Laying for Long-Term Growth”
Square Enix has announced the establishment of a new medium-term business plan covering the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, which it calls “Sq…

Square release there new fiscal strategy, and one of the key point is that they'll focus on quality over quantity, which is kinda strange... From an outsider, it seems like the main issue is that they bet big on a few big titles, and when those don't do as well as they thought it blow a big hole in their budget.
The game looks fun, I love the cell-shaded visuals, and very reminiscent of the classic PoP games.
BBBUUUTTTT at the same time it also doesn't quite feel like a PoP game either
Art style change up aside, the game definitely feels like a Prince of Persia game. I hate Ubisoft, but I see nothing wrong so far. The last game didn't exactly look like a PoP game either. All of them are different. What you said basically people were complaining about with the 2008 reboot. Ironic, because many of those same people complaining wanted a sequel in the mid to late 2010s tunes when a nostalgia started hitting.
Fair enough. I guess I got a bit distracted on how the series seemed to have forgotten about the titular prince in the title.
Speaking of Ubisoft:
You are too late Ubisoft. Nothing you can do won't match the awesomeness of Tsushima. You waited ten years too late.
Although the game would be one impressive achievement if it manages to top GoT. Very low odds, though
I assume it's a port of that next gen release they did a while ago.
For context, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the 7th best selling game of all time. So there is a rather big install base of fans already.

Fuck off, Square Enix. Ya shit bags tried forced NFTs down everyone's throat and you're throwing those under you to the wolves. Seriously, the only big companies who seem to get things right, and are success without firing/laying off anyone are Capcom, Nintendo, and Valve. Feel free add anyone I'm missing.
To give SE some credit, the last major layoff was back in 2013. And I like to think they have been doing alright for themselves if they managed to keep the company going for all these years. But yes, layoffs are still shitty regardless because all those failed games, disappointing sales, and going all in on NFT was made by execs, but employees are the ones paying the price for itSquare Enix is laying off employees in the US and EU as part of a "restructuring" within the next month.
