In the roundtable conversation of Japanese game creators in the latest episode of "Famitong", Yokoo Taro, the father of the "Neil" series, with Kazuo Kotaka, the screenwriter of "Makuroku", producer of "Extreme Exit", and Jiro Ishii, director of "428: The Blocked Shibuya", jointly discussed the future creative direction.When asked about "the project you want to try the most", Taro Yokoo gave an exciting response: "Please allow me to make a formal statement - I really hope to make the sequel to "Neil" series that everyone is looking forward to."

Although Taro Yoko confirmed that there were new projects on hand, he refused to disclose the specific details and asked in an iconic joke tone: "What answer are the media looking forward to hearing?" It is worth noting that he particularly emphasized that he does not hold ownership of the game IP (except for some derivative comic copyrights), which may imply that the development of the sequel still needs to be dominated by Square Enix.

During the conversation, Taro Yoko sharply commented on the narrative style of the two colleagues: "You can't help but imprison the characters in a certain space, allowing them to end with hell and end up with a tragic ending - this kind of creative desire is really puzzling. What's even more amazing is that even if the story structure is similar, the scripts of Kotaka and Tatsuo can present completely different temperaments."

According to previous reports, Taro Yoko and Yosuke Saito revealed in May 2024 that they were discussing new projects that were "may be related to the "Neil" series", but no substantial progress has been disclosed so far.Does this statement mean that the sequel to "Neil: Automatic Humanoid" has been put on the agenda?The waiting of 9 million players around the world may be about to come to an answer.

"When asked what you want to eat the most, the sweet party will answer the strawberry cake, the salt party will choose the barbecue, and my answer will always be the sequel to "Neil"." - Taro Yoko's metaphorical speech in the interview
