Atelier series director Yoshito Okamura shared some of his plans for 2016 in an interview in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine. [Thanks, Hachima.]

“Regarding Atelier Sophie, I’m currently considering a new kind of development in response to its favorable reception,” shared Okamura. “I’d also like to vigorously take on a challenge with a new title like Nights of Azure.”

He added, “if Gust doesn’t release a new Atelier each year then we’d die, so we’ll surely have something this year!”
