A new Pigg game is coming, although it has been in development since 2022. However, there has been no new information about it for quite some time. I recently discovered some websites related to the game. On the official Pigg website ("PIGG || Charactive World"), there's an image of the game's cover with the "coming soon" message. The website is entirely in Japanese, so I used a translator to help me navigate it. Additionally, I found a video that explains the new technology behind the evolution of Virtual Spaces, which you can watch here: [Creativity and Technology in the Evolution of Avatars and Virtual Spaces].

Here are some key highlights from the websites. I've also attached a few pictures.

_______________

From worldview construction and concept design to artwork creation, you can engage in a wide range of production and direction tasks, including spatial design, 3D object aesthetics, avatar design, and graphic production.

What you can experience in this project:

• Launching new services.
• Creative challenges for new elements, such as worldview, concept design, etc.
• Collaborating with illustrators to create artwork.
• Involvement in planning, including the development of new virtual spaces and metaverse concepts.

From the pictures, it unfortunately looks like this will be another mobile game. We grew up with the Pigg "PC" game, which offered a larger screen experience, and mobile games just don’t feel the same. They don’t provide the same level of enjoyment.

looking for games with that Japanese feel. loved yakuza zero for that 80s crime genre/city pop feel

Ghost of Tsushima and nioh where perfect for that samurai itch

and i played ghostwire for the yokai goodness.

any other games that fit the bill of being very Japanese ?
