It took Square-Enix an entire decade before they returned to the world of Parasite Eve, with the last game of the series being released in Japan way back in 1999. That's quite a long time to keep any series dormant, and surely even the most optimistic of fans had begun to lose hope. Will they have to endure that same long wait again once The 3rd Birthday is finally released? A tweeting Tetsuya Nomura suggests 'no'.
"In the case of a sequel can be made the next one will be a HD version."
It is interesting to note that earlier in the Twitter feed, director Hajime Tabata mentions that there had been a multiplatform engine made for The 3rd Birthday in the early stages of development. Higher ups had wanted the game released on the HD consoles, but relented when Tabata insisted the game be PlayStation Portable exclusive.
