Ichiro Hazama, the Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Producer, has teased news for 2024 in a new message shared by Square Enix. Hazama also served as Producer for Final Fantasy Record Keeper, so it’s likely this news is related to his team and their projects, not just Theatrhythm.
New Message from Ichiro Hazama for 2024
Happy new year!
This is Hazama from SQEX.
It’s now been nearly an entire year since we released THEATRHYTHM FINAL BAR LINE. What have you all been up to since then?
Personally, I was busy working on DLC and other things all the way up until November last year, so it really doesn’t feel like that long ago for me.
It’s still crazy to think how many tracks we squeezed into the game in the end…
I want to take this chance to thank Masanobu Suzui, all the development team, the staff on the various projects who checked content for us, and all of you who played the title!
As for this year, well… Don’t worry, we’ve got something in store for you.
Our young team of developers is hard at work creating something new, so I hope you don’t mind waiting until we’re ready to share more!
