Uchikoshi Admits A Lack of Funding for Zero Escape 3 Sequel

The director of 999 and Virtue's Last Reward has highlighted a lack of resources to develop a third game in the series.

Kotaro Uchikoshi, known for his work in the Zero Escape series with 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and Virtue's Last Reward took too Twitter today to discuss a new entry in the franchise. Putting it bluntly, Uchikoshi noted how the previous games are "in the red", taking a bite at publishers stating that "companies exist for profit-making purposes", with the third game being difficult to realise due to lacklustre sales of the first two.

He went on to urge fans to put a possible investor or publisher in touch, with Kickstarter "not persuasive enough". That said, Uchikoshi is confident that "Zero Escape 3 will definitely be released somehow, someday" and would "appreciate it if you could wait until then", he concluded.
