Game Rant spoke with legendary game creator Keiji Inafune during E3 2016, learning that the developer would ideally like to see aReCoremovie come to fruition.
It seems like video game movies are all the rage nowadays, especially with the likes ofWarcraftandAngry Birdstaking a stranglehold on box officesin recent months. Meanwhile, news thatMinecraftis set to receive a theatrical releaseonly further cements the trend of video game franchises stepping outside of their medium, which is probably why it isn’t surprising to hear that some of the developers behind these interactive projects would love to see a movie of their game. One of the most recent examples of this, as it turns out, is legendary game maker Keiji Inafune and his studio’s latest product,ReCore.
Speaking with Inafune during E3 2016, we asked about what future the developer foresaw forReCoreonce it made its inevitable debut on Xbox One and Windows PC. After clarifying that Microsoft, not Comcept, owned the IP, Inafune elaborated a bit on his vision for the future of the series.
Breaking into laughs, we probed Inafune further on the topic, asking if the famed developer would be interested in seeing aReCoremovie materialize. Given the grandiose ambition that’s currently present for the property, Inafune admitted that he’d “love to see that” realized at some point.
“Absolutely. I’d love to see that. Definitely.”
Since makingMega Man, which is now set to receive a cartoon shownext year, and eventually departing Capcom, Inafune’s studio, Comcept, has been hard at work on a handful of games. Most recently, it launched theless than well-receivedMighty No. 9, which many gamers have been unimpressed by. Fortunately, it appears that Microsoft has allotted enough of a budget forReCore, as well as teamed it up with Armature Studios, that it’s able to have a chance at being something more than that, and it’ll genuinely be interesting to see how the masses react to the final product.
ReCoreis set to arrive exclusively for Xbox One and Windows PC in 2016.
