Famed video game “Final Fantasy IX,” which first released in 2000, will score an animated series adaptation aimed at children and young teenagers.

KidScreen (via Coming Soon) reports that Cyber Group Studios has signed a deal with Square Enix to produce the show and handle its worldwide distribution, licensing, and merchandise.

CEO of Cyber Group Studios Pierre Sissmann tells the outlet they will begin pitching the series to broadcasters quite soon: “The games have a strong co-viewing potential. For those who do know Final Fantasy IX, this will be an [introduction], and for the many who don’t, this will immerse them in a universe they’ll love.”

The project is a long way off as production is being projected to start by the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.
