Guild 01, for those who have forgotten, is arecent Japanese 3DStitle that features four original games by four different designers for one big jam session. The team includes Grasshopper’s Suda 51,Seamancreator Yoot Saito,Final Fantasy XIIco-director Yasumi Matsuno, and comedian Yoshiyuki Hirai (buh?).
Level-5 has recently filed a pair of trademarks forLiberation MaidenandCrimson Shroud. The former is the name of Suda’s shoot-em-up, while the latter is the name of Matsuno’s RPG. Since it’s unlikely that Level-5 is planning on breaking apart the four games into separate releases, it seems like an official announcement thatGuild 01is US-bound is just around the corner.
I’m glad Level-5 is at least thinking about giving such a strange collection a chance. HopefullyGuild 01does well enough so that thesequel, featuring a contribution by Keiji Inafune, gets the green light as well.
