Drakengard creator would love to do a remaster collection on Square Enix’s dollar

Game developer Yoko Taro is riding a career high with his game NieR: Automata proving to be his biggest critical hit and most mainstream title to date. Before his partnership with Platinum Games, the offbeat personality exclusively worked with his own studio called Cavia make janky action games that got by on their storytelling and conceptual ideas rather than on their technical prowess and gameplay.

He became something of a cult figure thanks to his previous series Drakengard, a trio of games that seem like cookie cutter projects on the surface but hold so much more underneath. Their stories leap all over the place, and their protagonists could be genuinely controversial if they were more popular, tackling traits like cannibalism, sororicide, and incest.

Yeah, weird, weird games, especially since they were originally pitched as nothing more than Dynasty Warriors with a dragon in them.

These Drakengard games are the ones fans want Yoko Taro to re-release for modern consoles, and he replied to the request at PAX East this past weekend saying it’s all up to Square Enix. He would love to remaster the games to modern standards, but Square Enix would have to foot the bill.
