Akihiro Hino is a busy CEO, but not too busy to Tweet!

Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino revealed via Twitter earlier this week plans for a new title announcement to be held in April. "Once this is announced," he wrote, "it will become an extremely anticipated title."

In the same Tweet, he said that he expects some to question the company announcing new games when many of its previously announced games are still unreleased. The development team for the new title is different, he said.

Regarding a couple of those other titles, Hino said in a later Tweet that he's still working away at the scenario for the next Layton game. He also recently had to do some checks on the text that will be used for voice recording for Inazuma Eleven 3. He's currently working on the planning and script side of four titles simultaneously.

From the different team... Then, the highest possibility, it'll be for Wii or PS3, I guess.

A self-published console game from Level-5 would be sweet!

I don't know why... but it just would!

I'm guessing it's a sequel, considering that he thinks it will be highly anticipated. But if they already announced the next Layton, Inazuma Eleven, and White Knight Chronicles, then maybe not?

I'd like to hear more about Fantasy Life.
