Dream team of RPG designers unite for World Destruction

chautemoc | April 24, 2008 | News | DS 
For anyone thinking Sega has done nothing but garbage lately, maybe you'll change your mind with this news. An exalted team of industry vets have gotten together for an RPG on the DS, called World Destruction. Check out the list:

Scenarist Masato Kato (NES Ninja Gaiden, Chrono Trigger )
Character designer Kunihiko Tanaka (Xenogears, Xenosaga, Key the Metal Idol)
Composer Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga)
Design director Masatoshi Azumi (Grandia)
Monster designer (imagine putting that on your business card) Shin Nagasawa (Etrian Odyssey)
While most RPGs revolve around saving the world from certain destruction, World Destruction tries the opposite. In a world (you knew that was coming) where humans serve as livestock for the ruling beastmen, and where sand fills the roles of water and fire, you play as Kyrie, a young lad who is recruited by the "World Destruction Committee" to assist in putting an end to their world. As it turns out, Kyrie alone holds the power needed to do it.

Developed by Image Epoch, World Destruction for the DS is 70% complete and expected to hit Japanese store shelves this summer. A television anime and manga are also due around the same time. While a North American release has not been confirmed, we're hopeful.
