Xbox One Japanese Exclusive is “From an Awesome Studio;” Something “Never Seen Before” to Be Shown at TGS

Microsoft Game Studios Honcho has been teasing one or more Japanese Xbox One exclusives for a while, and during the Game Developers Conference he gave some more information about it after Kris Graft’s fireside chat, as reported by Famitsu.

 I’m very excited about the announcement of the release window in Japan. An unique exclusive title for Xbox One is going to be released by an awesome Japanese studio.

It’s interesting that the term used to define the studio is “subarashī,” which is basically the highest praise you can express in Japanese. That definitely seems to indicate a major developer.

Spencer then continued by talking about what we can expect from Microsoft at Tokyo Game Show.

I’m looking forward to go to Tokyo Game Show this year, and I want to show everyone something never seen before. Stay tuned!

Microsoft definitely seems to be stepping on the gas of exclusives. Spencer himself mentionedon Twitter today that he considers them very important for the success of the platform, promising that more will come.

Yes. Exclusives are critical to platform success.

Tokyo Game Show isn’t the only trade show to which Microsoft seems to be planning to bring the big guns. Spencer explained that they have so much to show at E3 that something had to be moved out of the conference.

Yes, I think you’ll see very few execs. We are already over our 90 minute time limit and having to move stuff out of show:

The Xbox One will be released in Japan this September, which means that whatever will be announced at Tokyo Game show probably won’t be a local launch title (Tokyo Game Show begins on September 18th).

The only indication we have at the moment about the possible nature of the mysterious title developed by the “awesome Japanese studio” are rumors naming Platinum Games, but nothing has been confirmed either by Platinum or by Microsoft itself.

Well I hope It's as awesome as the studio making it.

If they don't release it outside of japan like they didn't with a lot of Japanese 360 games then its just entirely wasted, Xbox one is doa in japan

Possibly from Platinum games, I think there was a rumour about this already.



Boutros on 22 March 2014

Either Platinum Games or From Software is my guess.

There aren't many independant console developers in Japan nowadays, let alone awesome.

A FPS/TPS where you fire  tentacles instead of bullets?

"Haro: Spartan Warriors" from Omega Force.

The leak was that it was a Kamiya joint.

If it is anything close to unique I will be stunned, it's one of the most overused buzzwords in the industry. It will probably be heavily Kinect focused. With their complete lack of footing in Japan plus being the most expensive console on the market because of the camera, they have to justify the Kinect so I imagine this is how they are going to try and do it.

I keep hearing all this good talk for the xbox, I was 360 all last gen and switched to Ps4 to just try something new, but now I'm gonna have to fork over some money and come back. It helps that I'll have some more people to game with on xbox.
