Acquire has previous experience developing games that contain a mixture of 2D and 3D assets having previously worked on the Octopath Traveler series along with Square Enix Business Division 11, so this seems like a smart decision for the small team giving them some additional help to realize their aspirations for the project.
The game's director Shinano Ishiguro made the above announcement on Twitter earlier today in a short statement that also revealed that a new trailer will be released later this month at the Tokyo Game Show, which is taking place at the Makuhari Messe Convention Center between September 26th to 29th.
