Yu Suzuki's responses for the coming year in 2025 are as below, translated from the original Japanese.
This year they are short and sweet, highlighting the recent game announcement from YS Net, and committing to continuing on with new development. His keyword for the year has a self-improvement theme:
Q: Your Keyword for 2025?
YS: Getting active! [literally "resolving my lack of exercise!"]
Q: Your New Year's Resolution?
YS: In 2024, I was able to announce the release of a new title at the year end. I will continue developing to bring new gaming experiences to everyone!
Q: Recent News
YS: Very soon, Netflix will deliver my new game, Steel Paws, to you. It’s a thrilling action game where you can blow away hordes of enemies with simple controls. If you’re subscribed to Netflix, you can play it on any supported mobile device.
Q: Looking Ahead
YS: I’m looking forward to Ghost of Yōtei*!
