Chocobo Racing: a comeback planned for Square's kart game?
“ I'm talking about a time that those under twenty cannot know, ” as the other would say. A time when, in the wake of Mario Kart , all the major franchises were entitled to their kart game: Crash Team Racing , Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour , Diddy Kong Racing , Lego Racers ... In the heap, Squaresoft also tried his luck with a title featuring the adorable Final Fantasy chocobos with Chocobo Racing , released on PlayStation in 1999 and sold 300,000 copies in Japan; a game that should have known a sequel on 3DS, but whose development was canceled in 2013.
Would Square Enix like to give licensing a chance? In any case, this is what the filings of the “ Chocobo Grand Prix ” brands in Japan and “ Chocobo GP ” in Europe, Australia and Canada suggest . The hypothesis of a follow-up is all the more possible since this is not a renewal of an already existing brand, such as “ Chocobo Racing ”, but indeed the filing of a new brand. . What's more, unless this new brand is used in Final Fantasy XVI or XIV - which seems unlikely given the vibe of both games , that would no doubt mean that this infamous “ Chocobo Grand Prix”Or a full title.
The platform for the release of this possible kart game obviously remains to be determined: the mobile is a hypothesis, obviously, but we can think that, if the title is released on home consoles, it will not ignore the Switch . Square Enix has understood the machine's potential and is releasing its multi-platform games as soon as possible ( Trails of Mana , Balan Wonderworld , Oninaki, etc. ): in 2019, there was also another spin-off based on Chocobo with Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy! ( a remake of Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon ). Would you be excited about a return ofChocobo Racing on hybrid console Nintendo ?
