Does the resurgence of horror games give Square Enix any ideas? With the submission of Symbiogenesis, the Japanese publisher could revive a cult saga that incorporates elements of survival horror.
Parasite Eve fans? Because Square Enix would have intentions of rebooting the franchise…
Square Enix may announce a new Parasite Eve game
Our colleagues from gematsu realized that Square Enix had secretly registered the trademark symbiogenesis. Doesn’t that mean a lot to you? It is normal. Symbiogenesis in French refers to the “Amalgamation of two separate organizations into a single new organization”. A concept that reminds Parasite Eve fans of the series. And it’s hard to see what else this symbiogenesis could be associated with.
As a reminder, Parasite Eve is a cult game released for PS1 in 1998. Then there was Parasite Eve 2 for PlayStation 1 in 1999, then The 3rd Birthday for PSP in 2011. The series mixes action RPG with survival horror mechanics, which was original to say the least, especially at the time. It is also an adaptation of the Japanese novel of the same name by Hideaki Sena.
If Square Enix intends to revive the license, what form will it take? A parasite Eve 4? A repeat of one or more previous games like FF7 Remake? Many may not know and a soft restart would be a possibility…
