On December 27th, 2007 (South Korea Time), Granado Espada developer HanbitSoft confirmed in a report that they will use a new 3D game engine to develop the sequel to Granado Espada. We've translated and summarized the report as follows for you:

As early as on December 11th, 2007, three Granado Espada 2 testing screenshots were released on the official website of IMG Games. However, at that time, IMG Games didn't specify that those screenshots were from Granado Espada 2. Instead, they explained:

"These three screenshots were taken during a test on a new game engine, so we can't that they are from Granado Espada 2. But we can say it is very possible that in the near near future, Granado Espada will reward its players with a whole new version."

The report also mentioned that the new version of Granado Espada may have a name totally different from Granado Espada, just like what Twelve Sky did. But so far, Granado Espada 2 is more likely to be its name.
