During an interview with GamerZines, Yoshinori Kitase, Producer for The 3rd Birthday, has revealed that he would "certainly like to consider" bringing the next title in the Parasite Eve franchise to next-gen consoles.
His comments came following a query as to whether Square Enix would return to the series to its roots within the mobile market.
"We don't know yet, but at the moment we're applying all of our energy to applying the finishing touches to the PSP version," Kitase responded. "As you may know, this project started off as a mobile game and then we ended up with a really high quality that was a little too big for a mobile game, which was why we chose to release it for PSP. It is more likely for us to be interested in extending the franchise onto high-definition machines, rather than going back to the mobile."
Having pushed as to the likelihood we would see the series move to console in future, Kitase stated "It largely depends on how successful this iteration is going to be, but yes we'd certainly like to consider it in future."
The 3rd Birthday is due to release on PSP in 2011.
