In a recent interview with Dengeki Online, Falcom President Kondo Jihiro clarified the company’s shift in future development focus.He confirmed that future projects will revolve around the Nintendo Switch 2, and said that internal planning has taken into account the upgrading of hardware support.His statement hinted that games launched within the next two years will no longer be available on the original Switch platform, marking the company's steady shift to a new generation platform.He also pointed out that "Kiss in the Sky the 1st" has not released a PS4 version, confirming the company's judgment on the gradual decline of the PS4 market.

When asked about the release window for the remake of "Kiss in the Sky the 2nd", Kondo responded: "We hope to launch it as soon as possible." He admitted that the studio has noticed the current development momentum and explained: "Since the current situation is good, if players are kept waiting for a few more years, I am afraid they will be criticized by everyone."

Regarding the platform strategy, Kondo said: "In the future, we will officially launch the development of the Switch 2 platform. Regardless of whether it is released simultaneously, we will continue to support the existing platform." He admitted that limited personnel may lead to differences in the release time of multiple platforms, but emphasized that the company will continue to support the existing platform lineup, and added: "If the project is two years later, it may not include the Switch 1 generation."

When talking about the issue of archive data inheritance and console generation transition, Kondo defined it as a topic that requires careful study."We hope to implement this feature on the Switch 2 platform, but the timing is tricky." He pointed out that with the release of "Kiss in the Sky the 1st" the player base has expanded significantly, and if the interval between sequels is too long, players who are eager to continue the story will be disappointed.

"Kiseki in the Sky the 1st", which was released globally on September 19, is a completely 3D remake of the beginning of the series and was developed using the same engine as "Kiseki in the Sky".The work continues Estelle and Joshua's journey of growing up as guerrillas.
