Nagoshi shared a message commemorating the news, saying he and his team will be committed to creating content to entertain fans around the world:
“The sea of change that began in the entertainment industry at the end of the 20th century has brought even greater changes to the industry in the 21st century,” he wrote. Nagoshi – These changes to entertainment products, starting from the way they are made up to the business model adopted, have triggered a paradigm shift that will continue to evolve at an ever-increasing speed “.
The manager then explained his goal for the new study newly formed: “One of my goals for this studio is to create an open atmosphere. It may seem like an overly simplistic goal, but even the most talented creators can’t fully unleash their skills without contact with others. I believe that the first step in creating high quality titles is to create an open atmosphere in the studio ”.
Nagoshi will be joined by eight other people who will serve as founding members of the studio, and the list includes Yakuza series producer Daisuke Sato, the former head of RGG Studios for nine years and now one of the directors of Nagoshi Studio. It is not yet known what the first project this new study will take care of.
