During Tokyo Game Show 2014, foreign media outlets were able to interview Yozo Sakagami, a producer for Bandai Namco Games, about The iDOLM@STER and where the series was heading. One interviewer questioned if there would be an extension to the PS3 The iDOLM@STER game, The iDOLM@STER: One For All, would be released. His response was:
If it were an extension of the game that launched for PlayStation 3, then the PlayStation 4 version would have been out already.
His statement in a way confirmed that this new The iDOLM@STER game will be different from The iDOLM@STER: One For All, the PS3 game and be the first PS4 The iDOLM@STER game in the series.
His statement about the PS4 The iDOLM@STER game was simply: “Development has just begun.”
When asked about The iDOLM@STER Shiny Festa, which recently received an iOS version, he commented that there were no plans in porting it to any other platforms like the Playstation Vita. However, he confirmed a plan to localize the game for the English and Chinese market.
