Famitsu reports in its latest issue that Suda 51 took a few moments of the recording session to spill a few details on the mysterious "Project S." He began with some shocking news. The S in Project S stands for Snatcher! Yes, Hideo Kojima's classic Sega CD cyber adventure is back!

Although not as a game, at least not yet. Suda 51 announced that Project S will bring back the Snatcher franchise in a variety of media. The first form will be as a radio drama. Suda 51 himself has written the script for the drama, whose name may end up being Snatchers (he hasn't finalized it yet). He also mentioned something about lending his own voice talents to the drama, although we're not sure if he was being serious.

Well, no game projects have been announced yet, but the fact that they're trying to give the franchise some momentum makes a future game very likely.

Note that the IGN news doesn't aknowledge the PC 8801 or the MSX II versions of Snatcher as the first versions of the game. The Mega CD/Sega CD version was the only one released in the west, though.

I hope it's more along the lines of SD Snatcher for the MSX. That game was truly ahead of its time.
