Hippos Lab, launched earlier this month in Japan, will be dedicated to cranking out “high-quality” games for smartphones. The company did not reveal any of Hippos Lab’s current projects, but said more information would be available soon.
Square Enix has been developing for Japanese mobile platforms for quite some time now, releasing games like Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and Chaos Rings for phones. In recent years, the company has also remade several old classics for worldwide release on iPhone, including the first two Final Fantasy games and Secret of Mana.
The most recent addition to Square Enix’s mobile library, a remake of Final Fantasy III, will be released Thursday for iPhone and iPad.
