The JRPG veteran responsible for Persona and Megami Tensei is working on a 'school life RPG' with the Neptunia series studio

A still from a teaser trailer for the new Compile Hearts JRPG.

Kouji Okada helped co-found Atlus and is one of the co-creators of its two biggest JRPG series in Shin Megami Tensei and Persona. He left the company in 2003 to form now-shuttered studio Gaia, and hasn't been active in game development for 16 years. Until now: JRPG studio Compile Hearts, best known for the Neptunia series, has revealed Okada is working on a new "school life RPG" alongside fellow Atlus veterans.

And in case the significance of Okada's input was unclear to you, Compile Hearts has you covered: they describe the game as “Okada’s ultimate message to those who will lead the next generation”.
