Square Enix Teams Up with TBS Games for New Original IP
Square Enix has announced it is working on a **brand-new original IP** in collaboration with **TBS Games**, a subsidiary of Japan’s TBS television network. The surprise reveal comes as Square Enix looks to bounce back from a decline in net profit earlier this year, largely due to a lack of high-performing titles.
The new project is still under wraps, but early signs suggest it could be a **massively multiplayer online game (MMORPG)**. Job listings from Square Enix’s Japan studio for a **project manager** and **server engineer** with MMO experience have added weight to this theory. Others speculate it may be a large-scale mobile game, though the scale of the announcement suggests otherwise.
This news follows the cancellation of **Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link**, which was reportedly shelved due to sustainability concerns. Some insiders believe the cancellation was a strategic move to redirect resources toward this upcoming project.
Square Enix has confirmed the game will target a **global audience** and aims to combine its gaming expertise with TBS’s storytelling and media experience. While official details are limited, the partnership has already sparked excitement, with fans eager to see what’s next from the studio.
