Ishiwatari is best known as the creator of the Guilty Gear series, where he designed the characters, storyline and soundtrack.
The last game he worked on was 2021’sGuilty Gear Strive, where he was once again lead designer and composer.
Although it seems possible that the “new project” set to be announced during this week’s Arc System Works Showcase will be a new Guilty Gear title, then, there’s no guarantee of this.
When Guilty Gear Strive was released back in 2021, theSteamversion eventuallyreached a peak of more than 31,000 concurrent players, more than the highest peaks achieved by such fighting games asStreet Fighter VandTekken 7.
Both series have since released new entries, however, andStreet Fighter 6andTekken 8have now reached maximum peaks of around 70,000 and 50,000 concurrent players respectively.
