Rumour: Could the Developer Behind the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Games Be Making an Open World RPG?

CyberConnect2 is one of those developers that's hardly put a foot wrong in recent years. Mostly known for its consistently solid Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, the studio also created the equally solid Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle, and the bombastic original property, Asura's Wrath.

It's a team with definite talent, but many have always wondered what the developer would come up with next if it wasn't focused on licensed titles. Fortunately, we may soon have the answer to that, because the studio's got a two-page recruitment advertisement in the latest Weekly Famitsu magazine.

According to Gematsu, the advert mentions a "new challenge", along with key words and phrases like "large-scale development", "RPG", "Unreal Engine 4", and "open world".

While it's obviously too early to say what the project actually is, we dare say that it sounds promising, especially given CyberConnect2's pedigree. What do you make of this? Is there anything that you'd really like to see? Try not to get your hopes up in the comments section below.
