As part of Famitsu's 2024 New Year Greetings column, Mistwalker CEO Hironobu Sakaguchi said that the studio has started production of a new scenario. The developer also said that he has been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIV every day. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Corresponding with his message, the keyphrase for the studio this year is "production of a new work begins." Hironobu Sakaguchi didn't elaborate on what type of scenario Mistwalker is working on. Still, the developer confirmed that they concluded plotted the overall scenario and are now in the main scenario writing stage. Sakaguchi remarked that it is important to condense and make the writing entertaining at this stage of development.
The latest game developed by Mistwalker is the Apple Arcade exclusive turn-based RPG Fantasian. On August 2023, a listing for Fantasian appeared on SteamDB. No information about a possible port has appeared after this, but Sakaguchi himself commented on the possibility of a PC release or a sequel to the game back in February 2023.
Regarding his daily time spent playing FFXIV, Sakaguchi shared that he plays on the Anima server of the Mana data center (corresponding with the Japanese regional servers.) The developer encouraged fans to join him in his travels by playing with him on the Anima server.
Sakaguchi started playing FFXIV in September 2021, and he documents his progress daily on his personal Twitter account. Sakaguchi even began selling his own brand of in-game merchandise under the title of "sagaGUCCI" back in January 2022.
At the time of writing, Fantasian is only available on Apple Arcade for Macs and Apple devices.

HoYoVerse has posted some information on the Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya re-run banners that will start soon in Genshin Impact. The Version 4.3 Phase II banners will begin on January 9 and run until January 30, 2024.
During this time, you can pull for Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya, who are usually unavailable in the game. The 4-stars who have a boosted drop rate are Kujou Sara, Bennett, and Chevreuse. Of these characters, Chevreuse is the only new one, and she's a 4-star Ousia-aligned Pyro Polearm character. She will greatly benefit from Overload reactions, which you can cause with Electro and Pyro. This is likely why she's running on Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya's banners since these two characters are good at causing overload.
Raiden Shogun made her playable debut in Version 2.1, and she's a 5-star Electro Polearm character who can work as either a main or sub-DPS character. She can work very well as an on-field DPS with her Elemental Burst and apply Electro to enemies with her Elemental Skill. As for Yoimiya, she debuted in Version 2.0 and is a 5-star Pyro Bow character. She is a good on-field DPS character against single targets and can increase her team's ATK with her Burst.
Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The Raiden Shogun and Yoimiya re-run banners will be available in Genshin Impact from January 9 to 30, 2024. Their signature weapons will also be in the gacha for a limited time.

Kitty cat versions of the Jujutsu Kaisen cast will appear as plushes, which you can pre-order from Movic. They cost 2420 JPY ($16.70) each and will ship out in early May 2024. [Thanks, PR Times!]
There are two variations of Jujutsu Kaisen cat plushes. You can get keyholder versions of them where they're standing up. Only three characters—Gojo, Geto, and Toji—are part of this set. Gojo and Geto will look like they did during the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death Arc, which means they look younger than they do now.
The second variation of cat plushes has them lying down on their front. You'll be able to get a plush of Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Nanami, or Gojo. All cat plushes have an eyemask that you can put over their faces to change their expressions.
You can check out the plushes in the gallery below:
Jujutsu Kaisen started serialization in 2018, running in Weekly Shonen Jump. MAPPA adapted the series into an anime, which started airing in October 2020. The second season debuted in July 2023 and ended in late December 2023. Though quite popular and well-known, it seems that the end is on the horizon. During Jump Festa 2024, author Gege Akutami implied that the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will end sometime in 2024.
You can pre-order the Jujutsu Kaisen kitty cat plushes via Movic, and pre-orders will close on January 21, 2024. Movic does not offer international shipping.
