18 (pronounced “Eighteen”) has been announced for iOS/Android as the newest game from celebrated Music, Rhythm & Puzzle Game mastermind Tetsuya Mizuguchi. He’s famous for creating games like Rez (Dreamcast, PS2), Lumines (PSP), Child of Eden (Xbox 360), Meteos (DS), Every Extra Extend (PSP), Gunpey (PSP, DS), Space Channel 5 (Dreamcast) and Ninety-Nine Nights (Xbox 360).
Check out the debut teaser trailer for “18”, which sadly does not show enough gameplay footage to satisfy.
Not many details are known about this upcoming Puzzle Game, but it was originally revealed back in July of 2014 during a financial earnings call in Japan.
Developer Mobcast has described the game as a “Mystery Puzzler” in which various elements of story, character development, puzzle mechanics and RPG elements are combined.
It will be released worldwide this year by Mobcast.

Don’t forget to check out our Tetsuya Mizuguchi VGB interview from way back in 2006 (I still have my signed copy of Meteos DS from him!) as well as our Meteos DS Review.
It’s great to see Tetsuya Mizuguchi back in the saddle. Even though I’m a little sad to see that this is a mobile title and not a console or 3DS/PSVita or Wii U title.
Definitely looking forward to seeing more on how this game actually plays, and seeing it in English.
