Today Atlus hosted a livestream on Nico Nico, introducing its new development studio named “Studio Zero,” created to give birth to a new JRPG IP code named Project Re FANTASY.

During the livestream, they showcased a video including an introduction of the studio's core staff and, at the end, a teaser trailer for the new game. It doesn't show any gameplay, but it sets the mood rather nicely.

You can watch both videos below, meeting the men and women who will create the new game, including many veterans of the Persona series and of other Atlus games.
