The Japanese developer responsible for Bravely Default has released a video of its next-gen engine operating in real-time, in a bid to entice potential employees.

The video, which you can check out below, was released by Silicon Studio though it should be noted that it's just a standalone demo, rather than an announcement of a new title.Bravely Default was published by Square Enix, but Silicon Studio is a middleware creator in its own right, which is why it's creating tech demos like this. The 3DS-exclusive Bravely Default was hugely successful; so much so that Square Enix is looking to refocus on JRPGs . There's no suggestion that this demo means a next-gen sequel could one day happen, but hey! We can dream.
