Tetsuya Nomura
Before "The 3rd Birthday"s release in 2010, both Yoshinori Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura discussed the re-release of "Parasite Eve" and "Parasite Eve II". The release was being held up partly due to the series rights being co-owned with Hideaki Sena. The game was later released in both Japan and North America on the PlayStation Network in 2010 and 2011, respectively. In 2018, the game was included in the Japanese lineup of the PlayStation Classic.
