Of course they aren’t working on it immediately. In another interview with Dualshockers, CyberConnect2’s president Hiroshi Matsuyama said, “for now I’m really dedicated to adaptations of Naruto and JJBA. Working on a new project requires more time as was the case..” Matsuyama of course is speaking about the team finishing up development of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC which is slated for a February 2016 release. Afterwards? As they say, the sky’s the limit.
